My Real Machine Name
J D Nelson
In the first year of
the first name of
the first Yates:
A candid feature
within the
machine data.
(A drop of hot sauce
in the donut shop)
Make up your minds,
restaurateurs!
Nice money, a bowl of
goodness noodles --
bawling duckies
and noodle soup.
News tacos, something
at the edge of the shadow --
I’m a hinge
in a bucket
of metal parts.
A minute in this kind of sun
will melt your skin --
a hanging
wouldn’t surprise
these people --
they’ve been witness
to taco seasonings.
We have the bag
of understanding.
