classic shock

upstairs i straighten and jimmy h encourages
from the grooves in some blackass vinyl

his face stares from cardboard, perplexed
no doubt by his disembodied voice

in the corner of the cover a possessive s-j-c
it was once my fathers but belongs now to me

when side one is done, i don’t live today
i hear jeff m downstairs helping get dishes done

to slapping strings and hoarse throat notes
i think of genes and leaves of trees, all one
