PoEms by MR. HARRIS - Sweeper


sweeper

Anything you rub long enough becomes beautiful.”
-       Jim Opinsky

sweeper- you blend
into the bricks
cracks you claw
left right
left overs

quick pleasures
consumption
a collage

watching
your tool,
never your face
straw stubble scrapes
like nasal congestion

package the
poison, poison
your pasture

plebians, peons
assholes, aristocrats
rubes, misers
grandfathers, toddlers
perverts, mothers

the clientele
privy to all
this pageant, these masters

lips whisper
to a child
mi amore
fingers steady
a lover’s waist

on a Saturday night
One, two, Three, four
One, two, Three, four
