From Alice Notley's, Culture of One


Excerpt from: Mercy's Teeth Defaced

“…But, Mercy is fucking wicked I tell you.
What are you going to do when you are let off the hook?
I like that: I paint a hook, one of her hands is a hook you
Fall from into a vat of creamy sudsy compassion. There

You are swimming in it, with your happy curled mouth
And little X-eyes. Is it like that? ...”
