THE ANGRY FAUN

I am so angry

I am a faun

I don’t know why I am angry

Go home to your mother

I tell the bag

and the lamp shines

in a bright indignant way

Go home to your mother

I tell the lamp

Everyone has one

I bitch-slap the house

and my head falls apart

It’s made of rain

This always happens

I am so angry

This African violet approaches me

It would like to calm me down

but it is standing in my puddle

It feels like I am being stabbed

Not repeatedly

Just one long stab

for several years

I wreck the violet

I trample all over it

with my two hooves

I collide with the mailbox

and we become one

This always happens

I am so angry

I am exhausted

This always happens

There is no reasoning with me

There go my reasons

You are a tyrant

I try to tell gravity

But my mouth is made of rain

like I’m a faun

This always happens

I am so angry

All around me angels

hum their wretched hum
