Dylan’s Dream (May It Be, Unto Me)
by Tyler Malone
Bestial humanity, sit and look with me
at the trailer park American dream.
A Holy Ground and plastic streams.
We’ll only sit for a few minutes—
The white of this trash scream to heartily
the rest of Americas marked down heaven
there’s no door, or any barrier
not a single pane of thin, plain
glass in any windowsill that we can see
like an open mind, it seems
so appealing to see into,
and within all the walls.
wholly appalling, what we see—
In the humidity,
the smells in the rooms
piles of diapers, old condoms dry
in older couches, immortal roaches
the worse use of wood in our town
the newest technology is the nostril
maybe PVC piping
there’s a road, running straight paved by the face this place
Praise! We won’t be the only two to see it today.
Holy Ground, the face
of disgrace, purest
of white trash
nicotine spatters the
general spitting of
good taste.
Bestial humanity,
I’m afraid they’re
still alive and well beyond walls,
inside, behind in the windowsill.
along the nails, and splitters and open space
around the nature raped frame: a round face.
the wood porch looks like a sunken pirate ship
all we smell is dust, time, and sizzling dog shit
above, stronger than the scents is a sign:
“a dream is a wish the heart makes”
this home IS some bodies dream so
what’s their nightmare?—
under 27 words and God is an entire world
:a little girl
White, not yet trash (she’s half way there)
She strides with the sounds of Sunday night sitcoms
the TV pushing her out the door. Her—
shoes are too small
shirt too small
pants too large
what’s her wish? This?
She smells like yesterday.
She’ll never know diamonds.
She says “hi!”
What do I say?

Jay and Silent Bob are stupid characters who only appeal to stoners like a second rate Cheech and Chong or Bill and Ted.. They are fucking clown shoes!!!
