Wee Brain

asses pulling up or going by
with their music pounding
know just how to fuck up
a moment you were in, you were having
up until they came along

their moment dropping like bomb
upon, within your own
what they own, imposing upon
what you own or thought you owned

they own, it seems, the whole wide world,
imagine they do or would like to

all I wanted was
my quiet instant of realization
quiet thought, arriving from above,
from on high, when some fool,
high or drunk or stupid, pulled up,
shattered all that, ended all that

unicellular amoeba in a pond
bursting under pressure
only wanted its little piece of this world
a little peace in the world

elephants feet are so very large
intellects of some persons, so very small
as if God gave them brains
as tiny as pea
