Chaos is the New Calm

Wyn Cooper

2010

Chaos is the new calm

violence the new balm

to be spread on lips

unused to a kiss.

 

Left is the new right

as I brace for a fight

with a man who stands

on his remaining hand.

 

Fetid harbor harbor me

until someone is free

to drive me away

from what happened today.

 

Don't strand me standing here.

If you leave, leave beer.
