A Video for A Poem

Emily Dickinson

Bitch

I wouldn't be so smug seeing as how

you don't stand a chance in the long run.

Your smirk shall smote you! I understand

your interest in protecting your reputation

and your thoughts regarding you history,

actions, words, and signatures, but you

are digging your own throat with those

holes you hoe. You messing with me, or not?

Seriously, if you've got something to say,

you should say it? I know I'm not the only

one who is waiting for your thoughts. I've

been waiting to hear what you'd say for,

like, ever, mother fucker! Speak, Tina! Speak!

We're fucking waiting! Speak up! I can't hear

you! Shout it, Tina! Scream directly into

my ear! I want to savor every word. I want

each of those words to be birds winging

through my tiniest passageways. May they

stay safe! May no one molest them! Until, I've

heard each one, I will be a patient fucking stone.

But, after that, your papers won't mean

shit, and me and all of my aspirations are

going to seal you in a sick, concrete fog.

Blue Belt!

The Good News

Bloof Books will publish my next book of poems, Tina. That makes me happy.
