BELIEVABLE STUTTER
sheera talpaz
To successfully fall through sh-sh-shingles,
let the worst of you build the roof. The bli-
blithe-blindest of you.
If you don't know what to do, hand a scalpel
to a child. Slur to your why-wife.
Where bad bad is to happen, one must plan.
Make slippery the slope:
Turn on the hose. Seed the clouds.
One could ague-argue that this isn't life,
just a momentum building exercise.
One could say lo-look at all these mistakes
in mock congratulations.
