BRANDON BROWN
Talking's Money


there's a hole in my pocket
but I'm talking with my mouth
the speech goes out into the arena
where sometimes it wields clubs
and sometimes tingles (in a good way)

most often it returns to me transformed
face to face with my own speech
in the form of ghoulishly melted
ore from the earth. What it says
I strain to hear. The sewer inside my neck
spits like a dog's mouth but it wipes
off clean, easy, shining.
