"My Body is a temple"
I had a dream that
a Chinese man was
on television
making a trek to
a holy land
all the whilst
he was cutting off
parts of his face
and turning it
into a mask.
The scabs would heal
just enough so he could
continue living
and walking
but his
hair
all came off
with the skin
and looked like
the head of a
shaved barbie doll
When he arrived his face
was a horrible
soupy mess
like a casserole.
He bent down,
put the mask of his face
onto the head of a monkey
and fell down
dead.
News reporters and
media crews
still filming away
like a hive of angry bees.
The monkey looked
kinda pretty
perched on his rock
His new face
just a shimmer
of pink and red
in the popping
bulbs of cameras and
police cars.




"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
