\t\t\t\tnoise tramples conversation as
\nmouths move with words scratched asunder,
\nass under, under all asses left
\nfrowning at understanding the
\nplight of screaming babies and
\nrighteous cackling parents,
\nmemories of bad poetry you wrote in
\ngrade school and in high school and in college and in life,
\nmemories of false stories passed along as truth,
\nthose stories lingering among
\nancestral lies that sustain us,
\nlies that keep us whole.
\nunused batteries eventually explode,
\nsending love letters through bullets and
\nacrimony through soapbubbles until
\neverything is normal again, until
\neverything flows through
\nthis world’s shirts as
\nblood through an hourglass,
\ndripping with unassailable precision from
\nrotten hearts left gawking at the rapture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
