First Mind Buried

Filed under: jonathan penton, poetry — ABRAXAS @ 9:53 am

It’s all very well for Allen to say
that he knew the best plural minds of his generation
but chances are you didn’t

chances are you knew punks frauds egos clingons
cheap fucks who rent their stolen suits
chances are
you only knew one mind
worth saving

chances are it was the first you buried
chances are good it was not the last

there is no tape for the way minds break
there’s a million things that can go wrong
and not one of them is anything
a doctor
could notice

we seek the solution to madness knowing
sanity has no answers
