A Nebulous Visit

Scott Listfield - Men's Room (2008)

English compresses and cracks his voice like the flu. He pours sluggish out of his spacecraft, pulls his helmet back like mud, and suffocates on our words. Down the metal ladder rungs and onto a varicose slab of concrete next to a Pizza Hut, each step a heavy, dazed plod. He sings and there is silence at the end of each syllable. A chainlink fence to separate each consonant, an empty parking lot between vowels.
