how to kill wolverine

how to kill wolverine



it's prolly a good thing
you keep the lighter in
your hand.

i want you to write the story
about how you sniper me
when the signs of lead poison
become too apparent

how do you mercy kill?
don't think about it or
think about what if it was you
waking up in walter reed memorial.

i don't wanna piss off the poltergeist
that's my last bottle of beer
and i think even the devil wants a friend


if i did wake up in walter reed i'd find you
and camp on your corner holding a sign.

i'm stealing this poem cuz i wrote a new one
on the back of it.

in the night the flare
of cigarette rolls down
the beach. an ember
to keep the bay dark.


i think you should
forget about shoulds.
marry off the oughts
to each other: ifs
on the bride's side
maybes on the groom's.


he's immortal unless you separate
his head from his body. brains on the floor --
that'll do it. begging for the last shot
before the healing begins.
