Bikes At Night With No Light
i’ve done it naked, too
at the end of the bad days
the days you were nice
all day nice nice nice
to all the wrong fucking people
that i find beneath contempt
but i am nice to them
while i grit my teeth to
tooth dust
just fuck me
around 2 or 3am
i get on the bike
used 2ride a motorcycle
but people keep taking
my motorcycle away
4my “own good” whatever
the fuck that is
so now i ride a bicycle
i stash it in the
shed out back where
no one knows it’s my bike
to ride like slickness
at night along
the empty roads
of radiance and tar warm stone
talking to jannadeau
or tristan or just the
dead with their dark flowing
breath past the humid
swamps and the drunks
and the boarding houses
and the madness
of the men with their
tin swords
no lights
2indicate
2anyone
that i am
there
