The Fixing Mind

by Bertram Sparagmos

Regress.

Wrap yourself in newspaper armor.
Letters and sales.
The veneer holding back the world
Into pictures and text Scrolling on lighted screens
But I have been inside,

And I am a predator.

I want for the creases.
Peeling
To turn the screws down into your soft self,
Pin you to the unforgiving earth,
Force your eyes upward
To see an expanding cosmos

Shining back its love for you.

that's a great first line, which for me is the spark that sets off this dynamite poem.

Certainly not a candidate for Celebrity Juice [which is a good thing]
