Two poems by Jax NTP
"a fish rots from the head down" and "dear patron saint of unsung effigy,"
a fish rots from the head down
- i.
- grandma said white men love poverty porn
- that sepia distance from hard work and low to no pay
- strokes their appeal to tradition egos fat wallets and raison d’être
- ii.
- when a person become symbolic = they gain symbolic power
- at the price of independent power = token means death of agency
- this is a simple scene = no subtext = dirt hands dig in pockets full of soot
- how can you walk away from labor if you ain’t got nothing to walk towards
- iii.
- brecciated railroad tracks are the poor’s portal to freedom
- while the existential lily-livered mourns for dried moon water
- in the coldest spot of sun someone slightly familiar sings
- at a funeral in an easy one two beat that deep south dew drop
- boogalooing please hum along what is real bait and what is chum
- swig twice the difference between untangle and reaction is peace
dear patron saint of unsung effigy,
- dear patron saint of unsung effigy,
- the intimacy of inhaling your cigarette smoke
- is destruction of body accelerated in slow motion
- what is life without the occasional surrender to impulse
- orange sodium street lights and hungry wandering rats
- “mottainai” is Japanese for the sense of regret if anything is wasted
- there’s a certain level of accountability when there’s permanence
- the latin quarter was fresh is fresh still, is it too late to rediscover
- nothing like a little honesty to diffuse difficult situations
- what is there left to say but “hi, whoops, i love you”
