PENIS WITH GOD by daniel bailey

if not ever a thing
a habit of corking
a tooth with cloud
and chugging humid

start again

not ever a thing you say
a thing in the anus that speaks
its own birth like a messenger

I address the ideal:
Penis

I have defeated God in a game of penis
every year since the first grade

I confess to cheating only once
when my voice was weak
from too much weeping
from too much laughter
