*last night Thor's Hammer*

two scientists recently decoded
why Bukowski
turns green
feeding crumbs to
starved pigeons.

"i'm the Muhammad Ali
of suction dryers,"
he says.


"i guess all that
leaves me," i say,
"is the St. Remy asylum
and death as
a roll
of
counterfeit nickels"

she lays a blanket
across her lap

to keep her legs
warm against the draft

she
shave(s)
my balls like
the actors in
the movie.

now that's what i call
a bright future.

I BROKE THE JAW OF MOHAMMED ALI

for J.B.

When I was nimble
of foot,
and off my meds,
I would spar with
the greatest
back in Louisville.

I toyed with Ali
and broke
his jaw. I did
not fall for his
rope a dope.
I clocked him square.

I was the Mohammed
Ali
of the eighties.
I stole his thunder.
But now everyone
thinks I am crazy.

when i was
younger
my dad told me
Johannson
was shit

but

i never
believed him
and now i
am sad
that he died.
