I Went Down to the Mall

I went down to the mall.

They said they wanted somebody who spoke an extinct language.

They asked me which one I spoke.

I said I forgot.

They said that’s okay.

We might have something for you anyway.

They asked me if I was familiar

with the concept

of reincarnation.

Bukowski and Blake Investigate

night on spherical

Speculation into the investigation:

An inked manuscript penned by sure hand,

billowing dark Satanic mills,

a winged and weightless choir,

shadow of a blooming oak

across the bowling alley,

7 – Eleven coffee to go,

shoes with blinking lights.

Bukowski’s Bluebird and Blake’s Tyger

in performance.
