[Realpoetik] SCOTT ABELS [Part 2]

[RealPoetik Magazine]

I WON'T GO TO WORK TODAY.

I WON'T GO TO WORK.



During the commercial

for drinking coffee with Ronald Reagan

we brush our teeth in the river

with a hundred neighbors.

My trousers are just butterflies.

Your legs look long

like long eggs.

Fresh cut grass.

Something lucky follows,

and when you look

into his whipping cream eyes

they sell a lot of coffee.



You just cannot bomb mud.

There is work to do.  Wake up now.
