Beam Me Up

 I thought these two poems might work well together.  What do you think?

Condescending sign of what’s to come

through no stature of heart

within boundaries torn by a jealousy deep,

buried in surface fixtures on bathroom walls

written in red from a plastic tube.

 

But we are not the same. 

 

And, what of you, in your tite black tea

nun chucks in hand,

who’s trigger will you be pulling tonight?

 

Please tell me

so I can be there to bear witness. 

 

Just a pillow over the head to muffle the band,

silencing the naysayer, you like to think,

she faltered just once in not loving you back, but

 no one could tell her.
