snubbed

in tin dent
de.lic.ious.ly describing
the entire contents of the house
on broken bow road
its opposite the house
the found house (huff street)

after escaping from the mental hospital
to find nothing except an empty house [and]
a lone blue plastic indian archer
with his bow pointed at the sky
at the top of a water heater in a closet

hidden away

is that of the incommunicable, whereas
its actual misery lies in the fact, that

viewing the elements of the equation,
its sere singing, seer singing, frightened monkey,
is all of a piece.

It is all of a piece, a peace snubbed.
