Anxiety Subfactor

Chris Toll

 

“If some would like to turn this into class warfare, I,
that’s not how I think: I think about the overall economy.”

— George W. Bush, 1/2/2003

The class bore stumbles into war.
His heartÕs not connected to his brain.
His mouth isnÕt connected to anything.
Dust gathers on the Bible.
IÕm a vampire in a church.
IÕm a black hole —
nothing escapes from me but poems.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way
is a gentle one —
it isnÕt devouring as many stars as it should be.
IÕve been praying to the universe
and the universe finally answered
and the answer is you.
Art is the bed where I cry myself to sleep.
