3/4

i think that

there was

something

in my head


i can't

find it

in my

bread


and it is

not what

i read


it is not

resting on

my bed


was it

in red?


my lover

has never

bled


is it

turning

to a spread?


i cannot

pull my

fixed thread


it is not

staring

straight ahead


i did not

plant it

in a nuclear

warhead


maybe it is

buried in

the riverbed


was it

inbred?


where the fuck

is my bobsled?


it does not

look like an

airhead,

or a dim

newlywed


maybe there

is a crack

slithering down its

head


or, maybe

it stole my

banana bread


and it was

full of dread


and then

i left it

next to the

dead
