Red Ribbon on a Black Jacket

by Ryan Nardi

I'm starving the paper
and nothing's fallen out yet.
The words look like flesh,
and they're seared but not savory.

The tunnel has a fourth wall,
nothing but quartz,
for a diamond mine
this one's got pie-tins of dirt.

Bull's shit miraculous
fevering very odd wood-monkeys.
Nonetheless,
ping-pong is irritating.

I've got the answers
to questions that nobody's asked.
And I'm furious--
smoke clouds my ass.
