The Sound and the Fury
They came before language, a year after me, they came
back: seventeen-year cicadas. For weeks
they stared, red-eyed and vibrating, folded
under new leaves but driven in that heat
to mate and smash against glass.
They crawled up from under the ground,
mounted the trees, as if they remembered, leaving
their delicate shells to the gnarled bark.
When they’d let go, the rattling whir grinding higher
toward its impossible pitch, I’d come out of sleep as well, sweaty
and hard from dreamfucking a girl I was too scared to kiss.
I suffered valiantly, unrequited and polite
as the genteel poor, lonelier than a grown virgin. At night
I lay awake reading. Small voices cut the day like a saw.

King Size
Plump and wide, gigantic
sheet-cake with vanilla frosting!
Big enough for dad
and mom, even the kids.
We’d come between them. We’d sleep
all of us dreaming, drifting
apart. One night my brother and I
opened our eyes and split. At dawn
our parents awoke, suddenly
strangers.

Wisdom Teeth
Something had to give that summer
and did—as you pissed away paychecks and woke
sweating each day. Broiling Baltimore! Broken glass
on the pavement and knee-high weeds. By noon
no one, not even the homeless, got caught
on those sidewalks but you, already on your way
to the Mount Royal Tavern. Then home again
to sleep, your two-room single strewn
with greasy wrappers and tall-boys, still
a hundred degrees by evening.
You painted an old professor’s porch
for rent. In June, you’d seen your mother
with suitcase descending for good the stairs
of your childhood home, your father at the table’s head,
mute, dazed and undone. Simmering and grim
on a four-month bender—your girlfriend
away—you ranted till they disconnected
the phone and withheld your TA.
In August you went under, toward something
like sleep, nitrous oxide’s “twilight,” the surgeon’s whisper
booming your ear, rubber fingers and hard instruments
pressed out your drool, and then a crunching sound, cranial-deep,
like a phonebook ripping apart. They stuffed you
with cotton, and there, when you came to, fresh
from New York was a girl you’d almost marry
caressing your cheek, the blinded room, her parents’,
air-conditioned for sleep, as your mind finally dulled
under Percocet’s liquid heaven. Why go there now, why hold on
to those bloody molars, your ingrown and bone-aching
twenty-something teeth?
