In the back of the bus the violence is unheard over the growl of the engine.
Seat across from me- He has long fingernails. I don’t trust him, picks his nose with them then smacks his son.
I am trying to kill him through some kind of telepathy.
Seat in front of me- says “sleepy” in markered art […]
Life is like angry sex,
something that satisfies and forces me to clench my fists at the same time.
Its filled with naked skin, cussing, climax rolling in alleyway grime.

You only lived an eighth-life.
Laid school girl crushes aside the smoldering Suburban.
The ground rages over you
like you over it-
stupid, indestructible.
