9th and Olympic - Scribbling

2

scribbling on the wall with a Sharpie scribbling one word
no two words and the question subject is rejected stay out
no one is allowed in this hotel lobby except guests: on the
stairs leading to the door at foot level shiny shoes and
slender heels walk by tennis shoes walk by it’s distance
it’s close it’s persistent not then is it those things
these that someone will call out without effect scribbling
again the sharpie is flattened shifted to the left writing
to the right side begin to open into a gated area where
luggage stands waiting for luggage carriers damp crackers
don’t crack chewing is reduced swallowing is easier: the
devil pops out of the wall above the scribbles lecturing
begins delay not begin grasping quit not survival lease it
out take a condo in West Hollywood move in ice box dry ice
vented for high summer temperatures the holding is lost
around arms that were there reaching down pouring forth
reaching up clinging to the little finger the nails, “oh
they’re painted yellow reversible purple,” shiny is this a
specified emotion feeling being communicated through a
thirteen year old scratch it out scratch it out scratch
scratch somewhere on Olympic the smell of Thai seasoning
rises
