Friday Nights
Click
Before me the screen shuts
Before me the screen shuts
down
the buzz hums
drones
on
Off.
on
Off.
Pupils adjust from
Actors, from
Farce, from
cheap 'n easy
cheap 'n easy
Hope to
the real world-
the real world-
my fate
a
way
from
me
way
from
me
sun is setting
Saturday soon
Light lingering
Friday here:
Ready?
finger flicks on
the fluorescent
the fluorescent
I see the way
down
the stairs
Set!
the shot for injection
the shot for injection
my liver’s resuscitation
Go--
tear, pierce
tear, pierce
steel needle to stale skin.
My body silent
My mind sings
back
up
those stairs
those stairs
in sync-
whirls, ticks
whirls, ticks
dead appliances applaud me
