Amit Majmudar Poems
Off with the wristwatch, the Reeboks, the belt.
My laptop's in a bin.
I dig out the keys from my jeans and do
my best Midwestern grin.
...
Richer than mother's milk
is half-and-half.
Friends of two minds,
...
Life likes a little mess. All patterns need a snarl.
The best patterns know how best to heed a snarl.
...
Lead-lined gonad-guards.
Lysol (radiation sickness causes killer runs).
Breadboxes, to bury stillbirths.
...
Hrhm Shp, colt-culling,
Is what hoof lore calls it—
The choke-chain sound a roan coined
...
Into the rood wood, where the grain's current splits
around the stones of its knots, carve eyelashes and eyelids.
Dye the knots, too—indigo, ink-black, vermillion
...
Some species can crack pavement with their shoots
to get their share of sun some species lay
a purple froth of eggs and leave it there
...

The Best Poem Of Amit Majmudar
Ode to a Drone
Hell-raiser, razor-feathered
risers, windhover over
Peshawar,
power's
joystick-blithe
thousand-mile scythe,
proxy executioner's
proxy ax
pinged by a proxy server,
winged victory,
pilot cipher
unburdened by aught
but fuel and bombs,
fool of God, savage
idiot savant
sucking your benumbed
trigger-finger
gamer's thumb
