Good-Bye Anomie
Dru can scurry around his apartment and peek into cabinetry
But he can’t say what’s on his mind
Out loud or Aloudly
He mumbles fearfully insteadly;
Unstudly, a rib of a wreak
He dresses himself like a block of wood
As a wheel of cheese—a human boulder of talc
In solitude all costumes are legitimate
If Dru had it in him to say what’s on his mind he would
He would leave here and run there
He would drag himself by his nipples his nostrils
He would drag himself by the penis through hail and hurricane
By the face by the hands by the lips and through lashes he would
If he could only say what’s on his mind
Loud, Aloud, and Aloudly
Slapping his thighs in fury
But Dru can’t stifle the mumble
He’s too far gone to stifle the mumble and say what’s on his mind
Instead, he will drop his pants in the driveway and fuck Anomie’s Chevrolet
Since the day she hit him in the face with that cold final fish
Cranking his ice tray chest open ripping capillaries into shards of bloody ice
He hasn’t since uttered a coherent word and it’s time, he thinks
To leave his broken-hearted jism all over Anomie’s everywhere and everything
He’d shoot a glorious puddle of Turtle Wax onto the car and step into it erectly
rapturous as golden shower nuns on E
Dru imagines applying his corky purple chamois slowly in circles to the dollop and
humping!
But no, and he’ll never fuck Anomie’s house, or claim her mailbox put out
but was “a little tight”
And the Chevrolet is safe because Dru’ll never speak coherently again but god damn
that was a nice car
