grass and trees
luc simonic

now that i have relieved myself,
onto my hand, onto lips and mouths,
spilling mission critical data out
my hard drive and onto my flash drive
sticking it into the lettuce wrap. the
spicy lettuce wrap. the soothing lettuce
wrap, not sure if any of this will ever be
worth more than the plastic it's in, so
pardon my french. pardon my spanish.
pardon my japanese, my long distance
pleasure pie and preeminence and
everything else whose mist creates
olfactory pleasure & guilt like
the day your grandmother was buried
your cousin you have not seen for
16 years. the cousin whose one
avoided eyeshot finally greets yours
in similar fashion and all the shadows of
death in every corner of your sanctuary
are pale angels in comparison to the smell
of one summer evening so many years
ago in the middle of nowhere surrounded
by grass and trees.
