L A R A N I C K E L
GOING NOWHERE
Frogs and dogs in the ditches
Howl, you fucking monkey
Suck the mud from its pit
Shoulders in the shape of a frown
As the cars pass
Pass, pass, and passing
Whooshing and flaming
Like burnt tomatoes,
The mud sticks to ferns
Encasing the shape of the wind
Howl between crooked teeth
Souffle souffle, you fucking pig
Crusted hooves and throats puffed out
On the side of the road
Drinking from a black pit,
Just some fucking scenery.
Get over it.
It goes nowhere.
