oft

oft
oft oft
it behoves
them

to racist me
and
I feel like the sound of a harp
oft

I resonate, when I’m
a warehouse at night
packed with
people

oft have I travelled
in realms
oft
arrived

in in in
a wide expanse
where they racist me
with thoughts

knuckle me
figuratively
oft
oft, often

the stars in their nipples
abrade me
I have
no rancour

often, misconceived
literally
their engagement
with buffaloes

as in my heaving
brain, they should not
leave me alone
oft have I

disremembered
the past ambiguities
trials and trialled
into the haze

oft my head turned
to your mouth
but you said nothing
I had to wonder

if there were wisdom
wisdom at any time
at least in
this epoch

on a drifting door over the emptiness
of sea mongering
scenes, don’t make a scene
oft repeated

the calamity of slurs
forced to eat grass
or uncooked grain,
bedazzled

by their turpitude
I’m the Nebuchadnezzar of now
the graceless of
daze
