“It’s frustrating because there are so many non-profits sprouting up everywhere, it’s become a business opportunity. The people who need help aren’t really getting it. So I started my own.”

The Gravel in Your Guts.: Bluebird
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the…
take your gifts to the table
set your drinks on the sill
show your horses the stable
and leave the grain at the mill
think twice about leaving
and thrice about regret
while your mother is weaving
and your father forgets
days will lose flavor
and years blend together
but minutes do savor
all seconds forever
blood heats blood
humanity secures dark
flood causes flood
humanity tears apart
she’ll break at your word
and fall far out of line
it’s almost absurd
but far from divine
you’re familiar in color
and remind me of sound
although you’ve grown duller
and much less profound
weep for the sane
and scold those in need
punish the plain
and teach them to lead
fiction after fiction
word follows word
letters forming diction
retract and prefer
let the blood work
