As if I don’t hate you is any consolation.






















Prompted by The Void Magazine

Infomercial

She’s been watching me,
infomercial-light tracking
across my face.

Nothing clicks like a clutch
of insects. Mute. Something’s there.
Swivel-eyes come up empty.

She’s been following my
series of reruns.
She knows I’ll never use a gun

or stroke her hair.
Beyond suspicion now,
I get myself half hard

while she stuffs another
zucchini through the juicer.
She makes the offer

looking me dead in the eye.
She wants me too.
The channel breaking up—

contact service provider.
It’s because I know
she wants me to order now.

At 4:18 am— each eye a black
screen of restless
light, programing in progress cuts

back in from the blue.
Every channel’s on— 
in high definition.
