Worms Listen

Please, mom, tuck my football comforter in stove
Warm. Gloss photo gasworks. I’ll slip dreams boy
Seven. Destroying surface mars. Camping T. Ben
Johnson. Cub scout tames autumn Michigan. We’ll
Lleep, troop eleven catching snipes. Flashlight
Jane’s kissing my blushing cheek. I’ll learn. Only
Ten years later cursed to see my lay dead. Dumbest
Fatality. Auto crash. She could do anything except save
Me
Kindergarten leisure suit. Brother, stitches tin can
Thrown cuts. I’ll sleep lofty tree fort. Shot my pellet
Gun. Dad, two sons fish turtle lake. Blue gills caught
Below the damn line. We’ll sleep. Small tent
Campground. Watch the heat lightning
Jane’s wearing my class ring. I’ll learn. Sixteen
Driver’s license. Car. She’ll breath me dead. Dumbest
Fatality. Turned too late. They could do anything except
Calm her
Now it’s time to fly. Celebration. Triumphant
Jubilation. Atheist
M-66 faint sirens. I’m left eating my steering wheel
I’ll sleep. Worms will listen. Worms underground
Whisper softly drowsiness. My turn. Tribute should
Be drunk and pissed off, my friends. Dead. Dumbest
Fatality. Burn the husk. If you do anything, think fondly
Of me
