Joseph M. Gerace may teach you
maroons a thing or two about people
made of fruit. Surprise
Is always betrayed in the eyes
dirt always in the heart
despite what the underwear
Model said. Mark was his name-o
and what he said he may teach you
a thing or two about people
Against a green screen should be
so predictable like tomorrow’s lottery
slanders a descending car
Its brakes cut
with pure adrenaline intentionality
which is of course no longer pure
He cries, he bakes, he ripens
back against the night he
bereaves his hearts of fire.
