Good News Does Not Come Knocking

Brian Looney

Before we recess,
allow me to demonstrate the way
it pools and overtakes the fibers,
to show that I am lucid.
Observe.

You see,
ink punctures paper,
until an image forms,
and I hold it with
uncertain hands,
with permanence embodied.

The purpose being
to unlock oneself,
and to, win or lose,
be buried by ideas.
What is that behind the door,
bubbled by the peephole?

When there is an unexpected knock at my apartment door,
slicing through this dire haven, I am likely to ignore it altogether.
Let me state my reasons.

In my slumpy wreck of new creations, my pasty, projectilian, glossy, spear-stained, cotton, ink-black tee of new creations, you can bet that door stays closed on most occasions. You can bet my depantsed, disheveled, crumpled sock state isn’t coming to the door today. So take your pie and hit the road.
