an open letter to the town of Kane, PA

Abora

there are times when i turn into a dirty hippie

 

with rotted shoes

spine like a longbow

scraggly hair and beard

 

i would just walk in the woods and feel the critters scatter away

 

then they’d all come groveling back for my blood

 

and the bare-dwelling dirty hippie fuck would sit and look at the stars

 

losing blood

and toxic shrouds

like it was coming into style

 

and then I left

 

exuded all of the bitter heat and ferrous smoke

 

that my chest held in

 

my skull opened up, I watched the residents of allegheny county 

make soup out of the mush

 

now i’m just a can of man

but clean nonetheless
