Analysis of Another's Contraband
Do you play inside the Corn Flakes,
or are corn stalks more you game
Is that Hersey Bar the answer,
or the cocoa or cocaine
Do you clerk for someone’s feelings,
inspiration all be damned,
Your legacy an afterthought,
—of another’s contraband
(Grantham New Hampshire: February, 2017)
