No Help for That | Jackie Clark

Abrasions across
caddy-corners,
across irrevocable
dimensions; attention
levied to strips cut
thinner & thinner
in the repetitive
opening wide
of piqued interest,
its tendencies duly
noted, welcoming
reception instead
of gorge, a wider
shot in pocket; no
one knows what is
biting; lesion
making generosities
stare & stare; invasive
practices still not
denounced; & you
less trustworthy
of what travels alone.
