Poseidon Dies Like A Fool
In The Modern World

Doug Draime

A psychic whore left him stoned
in a dilapidated motel room
on the edge of a chasm
on the gray brink of a vast abyss

There remained 4 short lines of cocaine
on the night stand
like hammers for rusty, crooked nails
awaiting inevitable dense black clouds

The worms of earth would not
take his body and the sea threw it up
on shore like the trash of humanity

And the air ate it away gradually,
much akin to the putrid gas of betrayal eating
away the pure innocence of tenderness
