“Chilling Transaction”
Late night snacktime
Staff hands us ice cream sandwiches
in the midst of January’s alto hymn
(And we’re supposedly the
irrational tragedy clowns!?)
Interracial Baffin Islands
miniaturized to fit into
crack-crusted and blood stained palms
Too cold to consume this puffin,
I give mine to Laura
Handing off, again I see her arms:
An overused hockey rink skated upon
by a plethora of sharp steel
Gingham checkers of scar upon flesh,
Overlapping tic-tac-toe boards
in which the X’s are preponderant
to the hapless O’s
