Steel Daniel's
He made the steel
boned pass
kicked the green glass
shatter up the bricks
sour as the cat
hanging the dumpster
trailing yellow
from the crash
but not leaving
didn't know
the metal rod
made for bashing
his own head
inside the neoned window
shuttered dump room
he took it off
banged it real one
limped reminder
half was half
not like before
that was
where he lived.

Purple callused
like the stumpy
People like bruises
children glided
laughing at all him
Streeters calling gag
hello, I see you
one more thing
to get around
She couldn't do it,
hung inside
wet-wounded
splashed with Daniel's,
dam another day.
