Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Charlie Newman

this holy ritual
starts and stops with
money [yeah, money]
watch and be amazed, amigo
it may be your dance but I paid the piper
and without my money
it’s your funeral
your funeral
funeral
your funeral
it’s your funeral
said is said done is done
sneaking
skulking
subconscious
collapsing concepts of rank
disintegrating doctrines of the order of things
her picture stapled in your wish book
her in your hands her body in your
cheesy hotel room bathed in neon
where you feel secure
your chewed knuckles
your broken fingernails
your stuttering whisper
her silky back
her perfect torso
her hollow eyes

and the ritual
of the rich

[the poet smiles
at the woman sitting on the bed working on
his arms his hands his self
and all he does is stare
a long while
a long way off]
