Broken Koan #13

after Muju & Wile E. Coyote
Unzips from head to toe / pokes holes in the hulls of boats / shreds
totem poles to walking sticks / violins to toothpicks / hardiest of
weeds / cancers back at torn root / kisses a duct-taped mouth /
drops a cinder block from four stories / blowtorches glaciers /
survives killing spills / spiked boomerangs / loaded drones /
nuclear fallout in the milk
