The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Early BizarroWorld

In land of trauma
the never should happens are
stone soup novas served
white hot to induce that
tunnel vision stupor they
call a good boy who
doesn't crush his crabs
with sticks and stones
but whispers to them 
secrets we must never tell
ourselves or tell lies to
elders who only want our
best interest or the 
common good, whichever 
they deign to be righteous
for that momentary glimpse
at what will become
untouchable
