Plastic I or Christmas 2018


Inflatable doll

Emptiness looms on your polymer tongue 

A circuitous tribute to all you've become


Inflatable doll

Flaccid and dumb

At least the lights and the narcotic food

Wrestle the dark for the traveler's mood


Inflatable doll

Someday escape from your moldy brown box

And float out to sea to choke what you mock


Inflatable doll

Exhausting yourself on the frosted front lawn

A cowering heap, I applaud your defeat

You can only hold air for so long
