My Friend, Connecting more Dots
In Home Alone,
Kevin tells Santa that he’s old
enough to know how “it” works
before explaining “it” incorrectly.
Coincidence that he would rumple
into tabloid sepia mugshots like MJ,
whose house Macaulay slept at amongst
monkeys and glitter? What about the shapes
when I fold this money? A Rorschach of paranoia
flying out at you like hornets.
It’s all just pro wrestling anyway.
The fixes are in, the faces are paid,
and you all go along feigning.

Gripping. This poem is a great example of experimentation and craft. The ending kills, “and you all go along feigning”. You got to me brother.
Whew buddy saying what we were all thinking you almost lost me with the rorschach money but that ending though with the wrestling metaphor, this is a good one right here
The beginning with references to a movie enjoyed by millions and the ending reference to good and evil works to make this poem.
Great last line!
