Target a hatred of
parent/neighbor
employer
or
all of the above
while professing
christian love
Dig deep down
into your soul
to intensify
that hatred
into a fiery hole
Then it will eclipse
the neglect and ruination
of your own
body and soul

DeleteAbout her repeated use of the syllable "one."
Rather than sound repititious, it has a jazzy sound
whose purpose deeply imbeds the words
in the psyche of the reader.
To say that Paul Oliverio isn't heavily under the influence
of Joan Didion is to know nothing about the former
