Poetry Corner: Screwed and Glued

Screwed and Glued
oblique and sparking on a power line
the aluminum siding crackling
smoking like a party girl
the gutter helmets at liberty to walk downward
the mailbox porcine and lazy
holes in the roof let rodents in and out
some so large they block the moon light
the penumbras are never on kilter
even cosmic rays here are uncoordinated
you have to keep reminding them why they are here
'you are a particle, you asshole,' I have to shout
'you have cosmic authority to act'
no use
they hate they way I talk
