gas station
full tank must be
higher power

gray cat speaks
like a pale ghost
half volume

alien life
extinct planet odds of
finding you

feelings burst
like a blue grape
in summertime

lost in the
snow, but finding
your soul

extra butter
and a kiss from
movie star

toy soldier
reports to sundance
as ordered

fairy tale
a horse and a moon and
a girl's imagination

boy touches
death and becomes
a wound

woosh woosh woosh
woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh woosh
surprise!

sundance waiting
like christmas morning,
but we are jews

cigarette eye
retreats like a tortoise
into shell

guitar teacher
like albert einstein
but cuter

lazy eye
a magic trick conjures
girl's smile

magnet flipped
over still able
to pull chicks

gray cat roosts
like a patient mother
over naughty son

his glasses without
his face inside on the night
stand resting

letting my
tongue play tug-o-war
and you win

strange bedroom
stranger that it feels
familiar

new year thinking
thinking less thinking
this new year
