Transition Poem 55 @ Jan. 2, 2017

Marie Coma-Thompson
Asses

Magic, do as you will
and let the beaches fall
into the asses
of the people

and let the speakers
have their voices switched
for nails and high-pitched
drones

and let the rocks
fill up with water
and soften at their edges,
and I say

I will throw you.

I say

You will be a legend to
all water
balloons

and I say

I’m closing my eyes now, and
let’s see
who you hit
