haul in hooks on a line
turn handle

toss chum into abyss
only positive thoughts control process

Tried to open an email account today
1st company said
“Need a cellphone”
I only have a landline
2nd company said
“Push button home phone ok”
Not sure

Possibly
Muscled into a smartphone
And
Capitulate

Bahia
Walking along the Praia
I met a lady
With
Long black hair streaked with gray
She whispered:
“Make love to me
only
this one time
and
I promise
Macumba
will make sure you always remember tonight.”
Now
Alone
My Dreams
Always the same
Sitting on a milk crate
Using a hacksaw
Trying to cut chains from my legs
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
No Escape
