useless
from the man brandishing a gun to
the boy dangling swung legs from the tailgate
of his father's produce truck
metaphoric
images entangled in cop talk and
sentimentalism of things fictionalized
embellished
by the sequestered fool speeding through
these parallel portals to realize neither
and both exist in him
until the day he dies until a magic gun
does materialize
in his incapable hands.
when is father coming back?
he was never there to begin with, boy

without the heart of a boy or a parent arriving
aimless I plunder on through these words yearning
to find some meaning.
what a useless place I thrive in
5.23.20
just more word soup to stir
