Some bombs are explosive to write.
Some bombs about bombs
are explosive to write.
Some bombs about bombs about
girls are explosive to write.
Some bombs about bombs about girls
Who are question marks
are explosive to write.
Every line in a bomb about a bomb
about a girl
Who is a question mark
is false and therefore
is explosive to write.
Every word in the line in the bomb
about a bomb
about a girl
Who is a question mark
is a calamitous mistake
and is false and therefore
is explosive to write.
Every letter of every word
ever written
in the line
in the bomb
about the bomb
he wrote
about the girl
Who was a question mark
before she left
was a disastrous mistake
That was false
from the beginning
and therefore
is explosive to write.
The next word produced
by halting stroke
in the line
in the bomb
he wrote
about the bomb
about the girl
Who was a question mark
but who left
after a disastrous period
in a relationship
Pairing of human and human
that is a calamitous mistake
will be false
Will be poetic
about a pain
that no bomb knows
and therefore
is explosive to write.
The last word produced
in fevered slashes
in the line
in the bomb
about the bomb
he wrote about the girl
Who lied about question marks
and periods
and who left
with no effort
at staying
in the pairing of
Human and human
that is still a calamitous mistake
but that produced
A beautiful accident
that is still false
that is not poetic
but erases
Every line in every bomb
about a bomb
about a girl
Who abused punctuation
when rewriting the pain
that no bomb knows
is false, that no
bomb knows
is false and therefore
Wants to be
a bomb about a bomb
about a girl
in a time
when lines and words
and letters
To stop the bomb
about the bomb
will be impossible
and the bomb
will grow older with me
a fevered slash
A period
A halting stroke
of a question mark:
bam bam bam
bam boom.
