Kitchen by Jack
Garrett The kitchen is alive with sounds refrigerator humming Steam pipes hissing,
gaining in pressure and in pitch Then, as if they were about
to explode, they suddenly release their pressure in a long orgasmic sigh. A baby rat crawls
around in the stove Another, possibly larger, I can hear
near a hole in the wall that the plumber made. Sometimes, when there's
a lot of shit in the sink, there are so many roaches
crawling around on the pots, pans, and silverware, that I can actually hear them
all moving around. When my ear removes itself from its immediate space, I
can hear the junkies upstairs, clomping around, calling for their fucking
cat, yelling, fighting, clomping up and down the fucking
stairs yelling "Meow, Meow."
There's definitely some
kind of rodent by the refrigerator, I can hear him moving.
The refrigerator just shut
off. © Jack Garrett
7 Ways of Seeing
a Scar by Jack Garrett Don't see
the scar Imagine the scar's
edges being smoothed by
fine grade sandpaper Imagine the scar standing
naked without a body to
imbed its root Imagine the
moment of impact when the flesh exploded leaving
the scar like a hungry leech tooth mark on a sinking shark Imagine moving the scar to another part of
your body Imagine the scar escaping in a trail of wounded pus See the scar's death mask as she screams © Jack Garrett
Freddy
on 14th Street by Jack Garrett Dead feet,
dangling from the gurney Dead hand, poking out the sheet Gotta walk by the funeral parlor as I walk down 14th
St. Old man Freddy, he’s
sittin on the steps 80 years
old and he’s cookin in the sun I asked him why is he sittin by the parlor Sittin on the steps
on 14th St. He said he’s
near so why not be nearer sittin by
the parlor, cookin in the sun. The undertakers smile as I walk on by Smilin at me & Freddy on
14th St. © Jack Garrett
