carved into the side of
a mountain a Mac
for college
it uncovers you
as your vocals covet verse
epitaph to all things mutable
uncovered cable
found naked under cover
now I am without
irritating
like death
duvet covers, comforters
benefit beneficiaries
like a busted balloon
a wad of gum
naked in thunderstorms
lightening erection
as true as uncovering
Heideggerian truth
a comprehensive investigation
of your own epitaph
and then take it
away.
excavate it.
bring it
to the surface. put it
on display like a carnival of oddit-
ies, and charge an admission to see it.
I excavated out of the carnival
on a ferris wheel something chocolate
covered with no centre, something darker
than the unknown, or midnight without a
moon, monkey paw, walking corpse;
now cover irrevocably and try
to undo it
like a wet knotted shoelace
when you were five
