glister

Maybe I’m too old for this

glitter, false lashes, but

I’d rather be a fool than

dull.

Sprinkle on some dew
fresh perversity

it lasts a little, till
the glitter 

rubs off, beneath
it's the same old--

overdone.
It gets so 

every fresh wet gleam 
looks greasy,

stale edged.

Take the edge off.

It's the ad age. I
buy it

all.

I’d rather be a fool

than

see

After the flash and bang fade

take a little ease

a little slide

away

don’t watch the edges

legs 
scurry

Don’t

see

teeth with holes

holes with teeth

beneath

sic transit gloria.

Monday. Let's

live large, die young

contra mundi

Don’t you dare

see the cracks

in my eye crease--

Let's

live forever. Let’s die

young

Kyrie eleison

I guess I’ll paint more glitter on

my eyelids. Come on,

let’s beat the old drum

one more night again

Christe eleison

one more night

it's Monday night again

Has it been a hundred years asleep

a hundred years backdebt of grief--

I don't think
about it. See,

it's Monday,

time 

for one more kiss

with teeth

Sick sick sic

glitter it thicker,

gloria let's

transit

one more night
again

it's like this, see?
