		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-7267-dormitory-furniture</guid>
		<description>There are few things as uninspiring
as dormitory furniture.
 It’s functional, at least, and
 easily filled with ‘stuff’
 of many kinds.

Mine, as it sits, is filled
 with books (who would guess?),
 with scratches in pencil
 in every direction on my desk,
 a mask and a hand-made card,
 twelve sticky-notes of bad poetry,
 and this. </description>

		<description> She couldn't feel death in her fingers
but I saw it
            (come quick!)
-but I saw it                              and
                                  I heard it cry
I covered my mouth
(evil speaks for itself)

I (actually) saw it.
            Death.
mighty, dreadful death.
In the eyes of the stranded
            half their way to Detroit
Dirty white tissues in their dirty black fingers
            I saw death at night and it
                                                didn't belong there
    (she wasn't laughing)
neither did they; they were stranded,
                                                       running upstream against time.
running for the phone
running from (what)
            running from Detroit to Detroit
            from something worse to something bad
            kids with their kids and their parents
and nothing left to bring
but each other.
There were grapes of modern Wrath
                                                                      in their eyes, or else
in the fingers of a dying girl,
                                                but she couldn't feel it.
                                     She hadn't felt it since Detroit.

what children call happiness.

Women call it hope;

Men, the honor

		<title>Fighting for Limbs</title>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-5041-fighting-for-limbs</guid>
		<description>I cannot keep these limbs today.              

              I fail to take the world in hand,

as all control is lost to me

                on all nothings concrete (mine).



Those toes are a separate world

from “my” chest, “my” back.

Two worlds now enemies--

                I watch the battle scene.



I fight (I lose)

              for comfort. for justice.

I lose. Forfeit of the toes. (The

                conquering silence.)



Consciousness is loose to me,

a vague interpretation

                of what’s attached to this

(almost) movement.



Appearance (my) remains in place

to the eyes it paints yesterday.

And as surely as I’ll fall asleep and wake

                with my own soul through my bones

I’ll be my own just moments more,

                tears a (mere) disguise,

as long as poems lie.  ... more  </description>

		<description>I think of you, only -- 

                                                with the fondest of blood-red passions

                                with the prudest of veils over these eyes

                with the want of one thousand tides

                                --no, two

--with a heart imploding secretly,

                waiting… </description>
