Jelly Brick

 

Jelly Brick

The red paint skips bricks

Exposed to ray abrasions

Straining against a solitary confusion.

 

The bricks are a wall and a furnace and

The world is poison declawing the best of our generation

And maiming the rest.

 

Double entendres delivered snickeringly

As the jelly fish stings because it is

Too open to the world.
