Italian Gifts

Driving behind my brother who is driving the moving van
I understand all past and future genocides
All past and future empires
The highway yelling like a crowd inside a coliseum
The synchronized lane changes like Mussolini and his mistress strung up
All past and future seductions and momentums

Death Gifts

Death is
Drinking rum sitting
Then standing up

Death is
Driving the car and
Wanting to walk home

Death is
Nodding at a guy
And he winks back

Oh brother not that

Aspirin Gifts

Will I
Die
Half in
Or end
The iamb

Will my
Old cock
Be in or
Trying again
Be out

Will I
Die
Diffused
Or wave
Approaching use

Will
I die
I am
Or doubt
Am I
