Wikipedia Poem, No. 980

purple chrysanthemums
when he’s locked
in currency
his girlfriend he presumes
can’t smell her rose
his long black presumption
in the dark
it’s nobody’s job
to shine boots
antoni sneaks off
stateless watches
arrange shirts the hour
he’s locked
each day precedes
verde lungs
value in chrysanthemums
his girlfriend dollar watches
blossoming arrangements of purple
he presumes he can’t smell her rose
he presumes blackness further
his girlfriend presumes he can
smell her boots
arrange her shirts
the hour sneaks off
locked in the dark
each day
lungs verde
it’s nobody’s job
to dirty dead boys
in the dark
