Silverware Handling Session

Dry, congruous, neatly white,

a pedophile of sorts, he’s so

frustrated ‘cause he knows they’re

not his children to play with.

He just borrows them for a few

years, as long as “them” pleases,

as long they’re a leash,

effective.

Runs smooth across surfaces etch-

ed in millionth year scum, I feel

dirty just being there, glued to my

chair and smiles too, he smiles

the senile lecher, hater of

all that is to the least human.

How much of that is in

me already. Fingers run across

the table surface etched in

oilseed rape, the slick

fingerprints of many undesired ones

are already there, skittering.

Dripping from a slit.

Thoughts retract into a near

childhood, and the spirit in red

winding beside and past me

(Why must our impulses, desires

be shared by him, by others?):

So much faith in such a tiny soul,

So much filth for such a tiny hole.
