Pictures, more than Words

Yesterday evening someone died in a car crash
it’s raining today because of that;
on concrete, doesn’t soften anything.
Can you hear ambulance wails over the sound of
funk again?

Sine* a light through my gullet doc
  and you’ll see intestine walls lined with fishes
I drew as a kid. Fishes, yeah. Plural.
  Tried to warn them about war, doc.
Nobody listened.
I’ve felt love to be a grimy, dirty thing
 Like something shiny fell inside a gutter
Oh I know gutters, still.

  I know where things of curse float,

and that people
  like pictures more than words.
