tolstoy’s beard and the darkness underneath a bridge 26th

tolstoy’s beard and the darkness underneath a bridge
(to ian) – “it’s o.k. to eat fish,’cause they don’t have any feelings”

my son
has an appreciation
for Kurt alias Cobain
(the late)
because he
(Kurt)
like Billygoat Gruff
lived
(before he died)
underneath a bridge
(not knowing)
my son (that is)
that his dad
(me)
has also run away
and spent time
as a young boy
hiding
(not living)
underneath a bridge

it is dark
and funny people go there
to do funny things
and the smell
and the special trash
discarded there
(underneath a bridge)
is the same
under every bridge
(mold grows there)
animals go there(
)people pee there)(
and no one goes there
to find you

it is a lonely place
a forgotten place
(until you remember)
it is the darkness
underneath a bridge
(not tolstoy’s beard.
