the more life
happens the more i
need new shoes

custody
like a thrift store
for used children

such wicked
wicked thoughts become
wicked lies

apologies
this lifetime best
spent elsewhere

her soft boosoms
like tender white
meat pork chops

by the skin of my
teeth bite marks
on the horizon

pretend friend
falling off pretend
planet

just in time sunny
summer thaw and the freeze of
nightfall ricochets

someone any
one somebody
talk to me

fuck yeah fest
such little boys such
big guitars

red velvet
cake each bite i eat
your heart out

water seeks
its own level but
how i float

very loud
cat screaming for his
cosmic throne

make believe
you're the princess when
you're the toad

grow up suck
up chin up fuck up
slow down up

leisurely
stroll forgetting to
watch my step

casual trying
so hard to be casual
is not casual

when our eyes
finally meet i'll see
the future

haiku question
marks posed by voice
seeking poet

not really
looking for buddha,
okay guys?

any girl
can fit another's
mu-mu, right?

viva la france
garden morphs to
cinema

capricorn
swimming through riptide
pisces moon

genetic urge
heat melts clothing
off bodies

tell me what
to do so I can
not be me

my outsides
look different but
inside i'm you

how many
flakes does it take to
make a snowstorm?

another
nice girl poisoned by
your apple

wanting to
be blonde when the hair
dye is red

everything
exactly the way
it should be

staring at the sky
like idiots looking for
falling meteors

no matter
how hard i try i'm
not sixteen

like plucking petals
succeed fail succeed fail
succeed fail succeed fail

but why can't
i touch your body
anyway?

like a trojan
horse text message
with subtext

two thousand
pounds lighter without
your dead weight

summer romance
this slice of pizza
and you

a neice a
nephew an aunt
second childhood

eye contact
making me nervous
i like it

musical
boys haven't i sat
here before?

no cockroaches
only locusts
and dave stone's wings

crocodile
a bottomless pit
of hand cream

a child's kite
convulses in the
power lines

kill you with
kindness then eat you
with butter

chinatown
eardrums torn like
paper lanterns
