Poetry does not interest me. Although, I do write it. However, when I go and read someone else's, I find nothing. It's a shame with such beautiful language at our disposal, we have such monstrous piles of horseshit to shift through. Every once in a blue cock, I do find something that intrigues me. Reagan Butcher is one of these motherfuckers. His book, Stone Hotel, is about the time he spent in prison and it fucking amazes me and inspires me. Not to go to prison, but that you can turn such an awful and horrendous dose of life and still manage to make a lush garden out of it. This is the first poem:
Wild-Eyed Pistol Waver
showing the
gun
to the korean
man
behind the counter
my voice smooth as syrup
saying
the money
his blank face
screwed into puzzlement
his voice a question
the money?
i got pissed
yeah, the money, motherfucker
or i’ll kill you
but that was a lie
there was
only one person
in that room i wanted
to kill
and he
is sitting right here
telling you
this
