I told a joke

but I don’t know why it was funny

people laughed

 

I don’t like people anymore

 

or crabs, brackish water

lobsters, the great Bahama bank

the Atlantic tonguing its way

through lemon sharks, those fucks

looking for pussy, in the mangrove.

 

The giant squid is the natural enemy to the whale

and you know what they say—

the enemy to my enemy is yr friend

 

Oh nameless woman!

My penis doesn’t feel like it belongs to me

It’s a fax machine, dialing

 

Is there anything that may belong to me?

If only my penis.
