HiDef

dinosaurs on tall grass.  what the
fuck are they doing?  waiting to devour
or be devoured.  did they climb mountains?
did they learn to fly out of spite? I want an answer
but I want more than answers 'cause I
want to be the one answering.
I make the art inside of me.  no-one knows
better to say I don't.  some of me resides
in a former era with carnival mirrors
and plastic bags.  is it too much to ask
when I say give me a woman who
has smooth skin and a jagged heart?

I'd rather not scan the ocean floor
for some remains when you can
find washed up ones on the beach
though I've thought about it
and even the bleach
is out of reach when you're a
leech stuck between the toes
of an unfinished poem
