for Sybil Lamb

i am four inches away from your face

brushing my teeth at you menacingly.

you chase me with a bag of dethawed fish,

then put the fish in the pan with the beef and the chicken in the pan.

620 metres away from us military trainees shoot200 bullets into a large metal thing or maybe sandbags.

750 metres away the essex terminal railway smashes

6 flammable whiskey tankers into 12 grainer cars

plus 6 scrap metal cars that they should give to you actually

since you know what you’re doing and also it’s your birthday.

950 metres away pansy angels wait with their backs to the river

for closeted construction workers to sweep them off their feet.

6 months ago in the kitchen we were moshing,

i broke your front teeth with a glass bottle 

which cost like $4444 to fix.

you told your mom ...
