brackets, rain;
smoking on an airplane- with gryoscopes;
thistles for dinner, coal for desert,
the mountains -old and worn down.

a dead women’s bed and fucking as usual;
it’s all over, vanity and the like,
just yesterday we were swimming in the frigid waters of the seven sacred pools
tomorrow its all whispers.

the brigadire general casimir pulaski says,
get it out;
get it out now,
and use peroxide on the wound afterward.

my shining hope

I'm jobless and up before 5:30
the older I get
the faster time moves
and
it's making me worry

my new blender-smoothie
frozen-iced drink machine
has got me feeling
better already

unlike my life
(that's a mess)
it's ergonomic design
is easy to clean

Writing resumes, applying
to places I'll probably never be

but a few simple twists
and a quick wipe down
and the glass pitcher
(that once held fruit and ice)
has a sparkling gleam!

demon porch poetry- (re-somthing-ed[something stupid])

I don't need to work
but I do need a job
and for someone
to pay me

I don't need a girl
but I would like one
(one that would stay w/ me)

I don't need friends
but I need companions
to walk & to talk
& to drink w/ me

what I'm saying is
I don't need a tree
but I do need
to pee

farming a future

Maggie is leaving
my chest
-sad
my head
-selfish, mad

I wish the world would explode
(for a second)

the reality-
my sweet woman has gone
she has plans for the future
plans for a farm

from my untended mind
I had plans I forgot
the things that remain
tell me-

All 's not for Naught

Summer Squalls are Happening Today, Just the Way We Planned

what to do when the tomatoes have been stolen?
when patellas are broken?
when the blender doesn’t work?

Bury an egg:,
teal in the center,
waiting,
a century later.

Jive and advise:
do martial arts for 32 years,
never eat red meat;
no drugs or alchohol,
specifically on the bus.

When the tick bites,
lay down
and let someone you love
pull it out.

Buy more, strawberry shortcake,
wait for the healing to begin,
put it in a thermos
to finish later

The ghosts are knocking;
let them in.
