why even try to make things right

give me
quirky,
the unhinged,
give me strange and different.
someone
bent
left and right
at the same
time.
someone who would pose
for a portrait
by Dali.
give
me the basement tapes,
the grainy
film,
the dim light.
the conspiracy theory.
splatters
of paint on the canvas
saying nothing.
just blood and bone.
give me
the abstract and stream
of consciousness.
give
me the wet dream,
the long
night.
the air brushed blonde
with a staple
in her navel.
why even try to make
life right?
