Jeffrey O'Malley: Setting Event

Setting Event

Never open a door without closing a window,

Breaking-in, centering, with a MA MA MI

The baying of seals and the jaws of a shark,

Great, light-avoidant, high-fives and one

More time, before rocking and moaning.

 

I love you; you love me, refusal,

A few bars of Bach do the body good

As new as BertandErnie over and again,

One more time, gripping, Breaking-in,

Puncture, wounds, soon, too soon.

 

It’s Showtime but there’s already Movement,

Shuffling feet escort elsewhere

Dependent on staff of life, bread of angels,

And frankly her room is boring,

And where is his family?

 

MA MA MI and the white dog in

Green collar, another time, relocating

Photos and pillows, the gaze melancholic,

Sets in the mirror, as Pierrot in Winter,

Blackens the bile, a sympathy, GOOOOOOD,

 

A welcome, yeah, and sign the shaking T,

One more time, BOOOOOOOOM, pop,

chicken, and work work work, is it worth it,

After all, before you settle on the ultimate

Peek-a-Boo?
