Bear Vs. Shark – Ma Jolie

Rows of condos and birds as helicopters

I had a headache where you left

give up something, and it’s luke warm blood

telephones have eyes

to rip our feelings through

we’re dropping off

like guns and flies

she’s everywhere

and she will step right over the water

but if you take him on down today

she will drag you back down to the bottom

she’s everywhere

Full of visuals and half wit harlequins

it’s full of smiles and laughter

we’ll weed ’em out like dandelions

and your arms are like batteries

and your arms are chandeliers

bought a ticket to the picture show

I rip down feelings

move these walls inside myself

I lost my car keys underneath

the palm tress and city lights

avert my eyes to move northwest

we’re dropping off

like guns and flies

she’s everywhere

and she will step right over the water

but if you take him on down to today

she will pull you straight into the bottom

she’s everywhere,

This is a poem,

a combination of a sentence

broken up to form a rhythm.

you are a poem,

little pieces of my senses

broken up to form an image,

Take her down to the river

she would step

right over the water,

and if you take him on down to that goddamn river

he would drag you straight down to the bottom.
