DOOM ROOM
I am slandered, slayed,
sprawled out,
I shudder, am
splayed, I am
crucified
under the arrogant weight.
Stop,
Bob-Fucking-Dylan, cuz I
know
that amphetamines screamed
in the late swishy-blood sixties,
I know that you were
a rolling stone in 1966, tumbling through Europe like an electric
glacier, I
know, we’ll scream, no,
I
Know!
so stop playing in my throbbing braintime head,
make blues less of a drowning ocean, and
make folk less of a ghost shriek.
Ah, uck, Damn!
fuck! make your drum-roll end.
I wave through water
like an autistic boi,
am
an electric rainstick thrust to melt,
see
the man burning black on the sun,
feel
the pounding of a dying man’s last rites,
kill tonight
by falling asleep from thee
nightmare.
