Junkyard Robin (part 2)
By Clementine
Click on. Telephase. They are holts on the end of a steering wheel. Worn,
exposed, slightly useless. Good mornings on his palm crooked against his
chest, taping intermittently. Her fingers like factory knives, cooking
millions of times against the back of her knee. Angles, lines, arcs, gloryholes.
300 dead in the sea. Oil Spills. Tax Fraud. Medea. Attorney, president,
rigged elections, messy electricians. Behind the counter they seem like
a commercial: short, brief, tongue and cheek. Or maybe they are Sanskrit
and I am increasingly decreasing in history. Back. Court systems. Stenography.
Stenography. No, computers. Episodes of text worn as sweaters in pock marked
patterns. My face gets scraped, no scrapped in a metal contraption. She
seems so useless. Tall Latte. Where does she live probably in, triple short
wet macchiato, probably, quad venti two pump mocha vanilla skim cappuccino,
in a holistic camp or a cluttered closet. Pushed back somewhere in his
mind. Closets close to resembling a yoked shirt, there is no room for family
values or cereal. There is no family or milk here. I will never understand
their lives or maybe it is them who will never understand
Please waste your small lives.

Slipped down in Starbucks
