MOTEL LODGE COFFEE TABLE EXPERIENCE

murmuring sectors of solid pressed corporate wood

carelessly intersect

edited diagonal boundaries sheltering

creamy monotonous tendrils of

plasterboard chemical john the baptist rapture

escaping through shallow crevices of scraped fingernail torment

interrupted by scorched cavities of anonymous cigarette residue

narrow tiger stripe ribbons of blemished plastic

expand and contract

wheeze faintly with despair

exhaling stale whiskey and nicotine

inhaling broken motel dreams

fragments of psychotic winnebago travelers

preserved in liquid furniture pores

ooze off the trembling surface

drip drip drip into my optic nerve

seeping into my oil and skin encased skull

unsettling my skeleton

moistening my brain damaged boots

planted securely underneath

this wretched design
