the replaced from the prettiest by the prettiest

the pillar that holds the shade used to be straight
now it´s twisting like the screen writers dream page
i´m content and unaware under the structure
it won´t fall today
it will hold it´s base
it will be replaced

i´m throwing steak knives at some plywood
covered in aerosol
struck so many times you couldn´t make out the old mural
i hear b.b. guns shoot at birds
the mexicans like to shoot at them
they will be replaced

i hear her breathe on the phone
i hear her moan on the telephone
but from here she´s upside down
we can´t visit just call long distance
we will be replaced

we´ve murdered loved ones with arms bought to protect
and bars to discourage thieves just entrap
the latchkey kids the parakeet the precious passed down antique
the dirty books our mothers read
the punched in doors the semen sheets
the rookie cards the forman grill
the storage room where boxes fill
the memories that we still need
where JHB just took your queen
where everything is just freezing
where everything just wants to leave
and be replaced
