New Poem, "The Sea of Ice"
Will you cry when criticized? What questions did you ask,
stupidly? Flustered, fearful I stutter "autistic"
but came out: "agnostic." Never was any good
at Oratory, if I address the Senate, I'd be stoned
in Rome performing in the forum for the quorum
a farce when we both know Octavian forbids levity.
If you ask the historians, they'll also say
he invented shoes & breathing. However I am a child
of Dis: disgust, dissolution, & disappointment:
I only get out of cars through the roof... when I crash.
(pungent airfreshener stank: a canary's last, stuffed gasp)
Sad Minerva: expelled. Futurist experiments & the world.
Leaving a decapitated mannequin of herself garbed
in crushed glass, jabs, crags, & shards.
Dig?

Your retype of "Her White Armor" is cool. I already commented on it, but I realized today after re-reading it that I want to print it out and start a pesonal collection of poems/prose/writings I like in a book.
Looking forward to reading more of your work.
