Understanding Tuesday Afternoon by Jakob Chapman

I am stuck
in redheaded
desire
I can’t get out
of the lovely
quagmire

eight-year-old
rollerblades
covered with mud
hose them down
fuel the intensity
of the draught
delight in saturation
it’s okay
mother won’t
find out
about the flood

I am sorry
about haystacks
the lack of love
and devotion
acquired from cats
thankful lunch
engagement
with or without
cheese
satisfy cravings
strange emotions

I am burned
by redheaded
fire
my heart is ready
it couldn’t be
dryer
