In Unaffordable Fashion Poem by Rocky LizardiBrown

In Unaffordable Fashion



When you swallow whole this
and
the blues of the black
and the shadows
that don't produce
shadows of the white
and a song of the birds
that spit away
on my roof- i could
never get rid of
them,
and the sunlight
sneaking through the panes
stretching across the processed
wood of my cheap desk,
that made all those pages i turned
waiver like
clichés or even daffodils- those
are the clichés
that only i can write.
And i had a teacher once
that warned be about them
but told
me how he favored
a horrible poem
of mine, about coffee and odes
and odes to coffee and autumn-

When you swallow whole this
and heave the colors
of demons dancing
and building columns
erecting doric in my chest,
I wished once and twice
and three times more
that the Guerrilla Warfare
waged against myself
would stop on it's own,
a writers mustn't write
and hours turn all men to poets
and my heavy hands falling on
my computer like a butcher
not-so-skillful,
True enough Guevara is somewhere
in my psyche
and I write, and ‘'mock-on''.
