Solitaire Windows



Maybe

maybe we can say lemon
once and a while
hold a lemon
once and a while

a lemon hanging from a tree
beside my head,
outside my brain
beyond comprehension

we talk about how
there is nothing to say


18

starting and stopping at 18
feeling
like a dork,
feeling anti-
technology, smitten by
travel, by bar and restaurant


V-Neck

there is something that always
rubs me the wrong way
when I see a photo of a poet
especially a contemporary one
there is something I hate about that
they are cheating like me, maybe
they aren't making any sense!
especially when they use the word
"baby" as an address
it makes them look worse, with the
cleavage and confidence (?)

I want something more than
a sort of black brightness


Maybe

I worry that poetry is bad in general
usually bad


Chasms

big booty girl from a cave painting
Demeter?


Bed Mountains

fake rugs and alcoholics
bad mountains
something about not
wanting to go to the bathroom
after sex, but I always do
but tonight I was deep
asleep
hungry and hollow
vodka
hours later
cranberry


Great Neck 

Mary had one cop tire on her car
sort of like a spare, a donut
a sort of small, black tire
a card game, a cop tire
I didn't want to go or didn't
want some part of that place
sort of worried sick about
1. the semi-open shower window
2. the word "surround"
3. the GAP ad gangsters
4. and their outfits: solid
chunks of color, all shapes
and sizes (like we are taught
when we are young- how
everyone comes in different
shapes and sizes) surrounding
the perimeter of that place
while inside my dad's new
girlfriend is peeling plastic off
a laptop in a juicy jumpsuit

use the word til it's dead
beside my brain
juiced dry

a lemon

a v-neck

a jumpsuit

different every time

peeling plastic off a laptop

a card game, an image search

outside of comprehension in the sun




























Making Fun

cheating like me
not making sense like me
always want
to finish
like this
like a bite
of a plum
for me
like this
fin
like I hate
but
I love something
I'm smitten
wanna
sip
the drink
forever
and
tie
with
a
bow
fin
or
a soft
branch
with
credits
rolling
every
time
excuse me
fin
and also
look at me
doing
this
and
my
picture
look
at
my
neck
fin
in
my
picture
wink
there
kiss
fin
