ZONGS OF ZAMZARA

i’m shocked

just realizing

i lived my life

in a pinball

machine

.

a ball

rolling around

pushed

by a force

unknown

.

my

molecules

being played

by

some hustler god

.

no wonder

my ears are ringing

no wonder

the days of

full tilt

ended

.

no wonder

game

over

.

until

the hustler

decides

to stick

another

quarter

in my slit

.
