​
​Come to Me Consecutively


Talking to the nice woman who came
to evict me is liking watching
some Doris Day Kung Fu movie,
all ruffled hems and top knots
and who killed who’s father’s sofa.

I’d much rather watch It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad,
Mad World, or All Dogs go to Heaven,
or better yet, turn the TV off.

I’d much rather bedazzle some 
glue gun Buddhas to sell down 
at the Flea Market, or just give away,
help the church ladies feel exotic,

help them feel something other than
the presence of squinty cop Jesus--
always watching, at the pool,
at the ice cream shop, in the bathroom.

I do what I can, and move on.
Rather wonderful, this living. Can’t say
where it might go better, like Bob said.
Like Doris said. Like the Shaolin say,
in their way, closed fist meets open palm.
