poetry by j matthew waters

split personality


left brain isn’t dominant
but neither is the right
like jack & jill
or a couple of peas

they’re as thick as thieves
cautiously conniving
either acting out as planned
or [just for fun]
going off script

once conspiring to fake
their own death
[courtesy of
insistent ambiguity]
all systems went haywire
—rope not thick enough
the rickety stool
just one huge fiasco


march two thousand twenty-five
