new from above/ground press: ESTRO FUNKY: FIELD NOTES, by MLA Chernoff

ESTRO FLUNKY: FIELD NOTES
MLA Chernoff
$5

Alright, fuck.
You got me.
I’m tired,
I don’t have enough
Vitamin D to
project my verse.
I’m much more inclined
to projectile vomit
into otherworldly girths.
No methodology can
alchemize my moors
out from these got dang
obscurantist stores.
You know why?
Because feelings are
H=A=R=D
and all games
inevitably
stop
short.
