With a Lot of Spit, Blood, Love Juice&Shit

Kenneth DiMaggio

A few more hours
before you can
check the obituaries
to see if your name
is there along with
a photo of you
when you were at
your most insignificant

But if I only have
one night to live
I do not want to live it
according to my resume
which never noted
my first bliss
with marijuana
and my first
and probably
never healed loss
with a lover
who left herself
for a bungalow
then a cubicle
and finally
a prescription
pill bottle conformity

How many hours
before a new roll
of civilization
gets published
with perhaps
a crack vial size
picture
of a magna
cum mediocrity
whose twenty years
of writing memos
could never make up
one true sentence

that was only able
to get written

with a lot of spit
bloodlove juice
and shit

It is time now

To look for the truth
