{death of a love salesman}
john dorsey

i.

someone once said "i
am a love salesman
on a blind date
with god"

ii.

ignorant of the sun's
fellatio felt up by
the poverty of genius
we dance around the
point of little or
no return

iii.

where there is light
we crave the energy
of that first suicide
like a lover strung
out on death's infinite potential

call it safety name
it security true love
for centuries spent inventing devils
of unimaginable promise
