Jimmy Biggs - Too Diseased

Look at you.
It’s great how you’ve learned
To impale your worm
On a hook as bait
And then drag your tiny offering through a
Stagnant river
To burden the fish with your pointless enigma

Your boat pulls from the shore; its oars are distraught
Encumbered by some of the load that was caught
Shrieking and wailing, a circle of gulls
Leaping and flailing, they lurk in the hull

A mesh of vague ghosts
Drop from the bank,
Slip under the mud with all else that sank

I’d like to help,
But with worm bisected
I’m too diseased to move
I’m too diseased to move
These green water lines in ovals around me
Are gulps in the day I’ve taken
I’m too diseased to move
Drinking bath water
Slopped from the chalice
My amniotic palace.

And compared to genius;
Squared against streamers
And glistening ballerinas
This river’s the reason I heave
I’m too diseased.
