Ways To Dig Out The Bullet
When I return from the kitchen with the fresh bowl of
microwave popcorn
it's the part in the movie
where old almond thighs unzips the spleen in
a
shadow of linoleum so
that just about any
ordinary
glass of milk ends up resembling
every man's boat mast growling a tight dog knife
or maybe
it's where
gravity
drowns in a bloody mary of
hail
confusions, riding on the handlebar
of a ripped-up noon sky that longs for a little danger or
at
least some ice to tease.
Then, the leading lady climbs out of the chlorinated pool.
It's love or it isn't. My girlfriend thinks
the
throbbing light is never
rubbed raw and has no chance to bullet. Personally, I
believe
both scenes are
tear-jerkers
because of their
stones hitting rock bottom in a skid row of
smooth skin, even if it is only partially wrapped around.
