reviling the mirror perversion, mercury
blasphemy, this stain, this ache, this blot on his soul. Pug is true
to his stigma—chases those parked cars, bashes his fool nose
in---pokes, heaves. Pug huffs and crawls, humps cruel linoleum.
Climbs, laughing, cursing his forsaken flab, his opaque, his
fishwhite. Mounts porcelain face first, groans, retches---cascade of
resentment and broken expectations. Purulent dream. Shuddering. Pug
natters, ugly powdered hailstones, pelted with psychic pains, learns
no lessons, hands over his head, sputters, rattles. Blessed mess,
immaculate decline.
Muscles grind, constrict and Pug
bites at the strings of a liquid rainbow, vivid filth. Permanent
stains in toilet, in sets color, decoration. Bitter bane, gastric
walls of acrid colors...shit tube wells in revulsion, forever a
graffiti salad. Pug heaves, pulls remnants of spew away from his
flat, unrequited face—Pug pelts off-sterile white from his drudgery
and existential bathroom woe. Throws darts at his own eyes---conjures
thorns for your braincake.
Hitting the floor with a meaty
pug thud, Pug whispers curses to his dull, limp pallor, throws hatred
and disdain toward his genitalia dangling sorry—exercise in vile
science Pug cools forehead on cold appliance---fever broken reverie,
indulgence suicide. Pug hates full-on, jealousy smashes bugs in
multitudes----
