Bran

milk and sugar
and HIV detox,
obscenity is just a matter of perspective.

concrete papaya
and stainless steel teeth;
so tired,
empty tired
sweet sweet.

pain buzz,
ripples across my mouth;
no energy to turn off the radio.

I can feel the cold iron stench
of the police cell,
virgin addict
disembowelled.

and I can't seem to shake off this cold.

obscenity is just a matter of
perspective.
