Tasks for a Utopian Mongrel

Cochlea rum shots
are spaced best when
in those taught little drums
like fine tuning a boom box
or arranging an invader's meal.
Half digesting
then bringing it all
back up without
the oppressive need
for showmanship.

Colin James has a couple of chapbooks of poetry published. Dreams Of The Really Annoying from Writing Knights Press: A Thoroughness Not Deprived of Absurdity from Piski's Porch Press; and a book of poems, Resisting Probability, from Sagging Meniscus Press.
