floorboards
by David "Horrible" Simpson

[in response to the chit-chat-meddling into the affairs of the California Crusader organization
by Vic Caleca and Ron Collins in Episode 15 of The BBA Today]

search for spots that creak and moan
tear apart their tongues
rip them whole from their grooves
leave none, leave none

fumble over standing nails
grasp them by their necks
rip them whole from their grooves
leave none, leave none

balance on the naked joists
leap upon their backs
shine dusted light on every space
leave none, leave none

take all the time, use all your means
break sweat upon your brow
what you seek is never found
best to leave
best to run

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.

I’m not sure which is more twisted: signing three dozen Australian teenagers to minor league contracts, or this disturbing poem. Bury it. Bury it deep under the floor joists, pound it into the bedrock where it can haunt my dreams no more.

Other than that, nice poem!
