Harryette Mullen

Harryette Mullen, 2011.  Poet.

[it’s rank it cranks you up]

it’s rank it cranks you up

crash you’re fracked you suck
shucks you’re wack you be
all you cracked up to be

dead on arrival   
overdosed on whatever
excess of hate and love
I sleep alone

if you were there
then please come in   
tell me what’s good
think up something

psychic sidekick
gimme a pigfoot
show me my lifeline
read me my rights
