it is what it is
You’re wondering whether or not my ponderings lack meaning.
         A cultural necktie wrapped in guilt
         A gravitational noose buried beneath a stump

How strong are your shoulders?

It’s just a hunch-back to basically split the seams
This flesh burns away
The bone extends to long hooks
         And growing wings
A razor retracts from the square of my neck
The tightness slacks
And hemp cobras coil to the ground
         I hover above the Earth

I made a fortune in a metaphorical June
