insufferable clowning in the heat of the moment

a braying jack-ass shrills in triumph

incomprehensible to himself

the weight of consequence in unchecked expression


back-kicks at something behind it

as he thinks the cops cuffing him are a joke

(the jerk-off learned about the world

and the hearts of men in comic books)


as the sea seeps up the gunnels in the mud

while he acquaints himself with his raw face on the curb...
