Cow Hollow

In this surreal
 7x7 fold
this baby boom boma
this millennial free range
Wanders
wild 
life
crowding out 
my dout filled
existence

I wouldn't consider it 
a nuisance
more so a glaring
reality
that occasionally sinks his teeth 
deep in
your flesh

Memory sags 
beneath me
pounding the floor with fat footed
fuckery
as if still covered
in supple 
kid skin
cackles echo
up the vents
in howls and screams
Its a regular ethanol exorcism down there

Cowardice roams the streets
while mischief hides behind plaster 

I watch out my windows
listen intently
to all the storytelling
and
unkindness
circling the bus stop
when the school lets out

Hoping to see the charm out there
but rarely do.

No one leaves this place

the rent control
electric fence
keeps us
here
the threats of destruction
beyond the bridge
keeps us
here

The mob climbs
each marble staircase
and settles
on the instagram settee 
pin tucked
in 
debt
delusion
and
denial

while 
the white house
continues
stone toe sucking
and
the beardless Duc
leaves the orgy
