what is trust
between a cockroach
& the harbor of a rotten vanity
between beds of a bunk
between dust & a mistuned piano
between boca burgers & a toaster oven
between Jeopardy & 7
between faith & a glass of grape juice
between turtles & ninja
between pillows & erections
& shame & local access television
& pee & porcelain
& grey scale tiles of a bathroom floor
between trust & brothers
is love ideally
if not resentment
condemnation
an apartment of grievances
to tow around in a storage locker
for the rest of a life
like childhood somehow betrayed gravity
& punishment is between
trust & forgiveness
