a poem by Justin Hyde (1 of 3)

the circular hustle

i understand
the hindu
meditating on his belly button
to transcend
the vicissitudes

i do it myself
from time to time
when the days
start latching on
like tapeworms.

but eventually
a rose threads the needle
and my dick swells up
like a baseball bat:

left field line drive

knocking my ass
out of
full lotus

straight into
another bottomless pair
of brown eyes.
