Baths on Sunday were terror. There was a rat hole in the corner behind the claw foot tub. I wanted to play but listened for rustling, the sign a rat coming to bite me. Even the baking soda propelled submarine didn’t capture my attention long enough for me to relax. My mother’s assurance the hole was plugged with steel wool meant nothing. The faucet was opposite the wall and after gouging my back several times I had to bathe with my neck exposed to the hole. Still, we had slippers and bathrobes from Alexander’s. I am still not fond of taking baths.

“Let’s be clear. What we have here is failure, simple unabashed failure.” CZV
Disambiguate
The inability to harden
to strangle gently
the most offensive hydra
breathe fire on chimeras
lay waste to dragons
comb medusa hair
plant poppies and crosses
We have here genuflection
to a lesser god
gut covered grenades
sacrifice for the greater good
We went high
they went low
Now I can’t feel my legs
will I walk again
When yorick gibes
will there be a joyful noise
a rightful place
or fragments of a nose
in the desert sand
We sit under a horse’s hair
listening to jesters
Kente clad griots get less
than double-breasted historians
The boulder rolled away
from the entrance
down the mountain
is it not right
cheating hangmen
Let us begin again.
