"i AM bird"
by Larry Bird
poets shut it
you don't know you just can't say
by way of this Bird my birds
you don't know what it's like to be the Bird
draining chasing long distance erasing
three point arcs tasting facial erasures
macing your eyes deleting trophies and banners
game winning hooks I eat all-colored plumes
with hunger enough left to swallow your pride
you can't love this you can't hold it
your heart's atria burn to be schooled by this
so watch your windows at night
toss tumble and tremble at night
pull your blankets up past your lips at night
lest I shatter the bedroom glass
crack the mirror and doom you seven years
trample your evening dreams
chew spit and shit your love
all up inside the pillows and scream
YOUR MIND IS MINE
