Knock at the door

there’s a knock
at the door
there’s always a knock
at the door
jehovahs
latter day saints
ghosts of debts
ignored
maybe mr. repo
or a telephone ringing
to tell me
I can save 10%
on my auto insurance
or a dog barking
at the wind or a leaf or
a turd that won’t
come out

I’d answer the door
or the phone
or yell at the
dog
or book a flight
with a bogus card
but for the most
part
I ignore that
shit

I watch sunsets on the
backs of my eyelids
surf 40 footers somewhere
on the north shore
and I never miss a chance
to argue for the
communists
neo-Marxists
and obtuse
Hegelians
hallucinogens
optional
