the junkies (watercolor and graphite on watercolor paper)

becoming a spear

whittling away the what is

left on the stick of this life

spending the day dying.

thinking about insects and death

and dying waiting to work out

so I look good so I can be more

famous and fuck hotter and more $

cause this is where the happiness

is hidden in the future world

where I am happy and bugs care

and my dick is bigger and ice cream

won't make your feet disappear

where cancer waits like a hidden

tiger in the grey haired forest

of middle age. a thorn in it's paw.

You're hurting me (watercolor and pen and graphite on watercolor paper)

when you speak i feel hurty

where were we?

making sandwiches

the white rain falling on the

town

while the cabby said to the lazy lady

"where's me money?"

the lazy lady replying.

"my boyfriend wants no babies,

oh where am i to go now?"

but where were we?

cutting apart the pirate

the white rain falling on the

town

a forest ranger holding a black baby

"it's not how it appears"

the black overweight hotel receptionist screaming

"here are your room keys,

they will not work when you get to your room"

but where were we?

the plane falling from the sky

the white rain falling on the

town

her soft and barren loins filling the

captain's room

"i'd like a diet coke please?"

the undulating eyes of the broken airline steward

"i wanted to travel and see the world

and have sex with strange men..."

but where were we?

…in uniform enjoying expensive drinks

the white rain falling on the

town

…late at night in the exotic hotel bars

leaving behind the starched confines

"of my youth in the neck of tennessee?"

not my thin body and perfect hair

"breathing in the blue air of strangers and

always using the food to stop the bleeding"

the water is falling out of his head (watercolor and pencil on watercolor paper)

cross country

in red weather we stole

the postman's letters

covered in tears and wine

the black wolves forming

a line at the base of the camp

we carried our mace

at all times, the rain coming

down in black sheets my

hair had started to grow

back like leaves thwarted

on a dead tree. out in the wind

you called me on your cell

phone. a baby tiger curled

into your bed all crazy

bad breath in your face

my parole having just come

through. the cable guy

never showed, i was able

and we were left holding

the bill. far out at sea

the forest fire (prismacolor marker on sketch paper)

draining the taps

kill the klieg lights capitan

and let's go separate ways

you with the lief tenant

piling huge helpings of

meat into his plate

me with the maids of regret

sunning with the fire dogs

licking up dandelion wine

looking for green belfast

feeling incredibly late

give them all three thousand

year old cannons and let them

fire their names into heaven

scalding jesus with syntax and

the dance fever of the 70's

the Bee Gees delivering the

message while. their smaller

brother. dies unexpectedly one

night and no amount of money

would bring him back to life

let's not do that for too long though

this time wasted won't be given back

and then, and then, and then,

there is the idea that right now

is ok enough

the liar (oil paint on canvas stretched on cardboard)

it's 

not over 

yet/yes 

it is

i may or may not have been here before

but i am sure that this is my last

chance to ever be happy again

you sit on the sink with your long socks

on blowing bubbles into the cabinets

black open graves

i'll take what's behind door number

three thousand and twenty five

for two hundred dollars jack

the lights dim and the air grinds and

leans out of the room as the curtain parts

and everything is fart noise

bone cloud (prismacolor marker on sketch paper)

the arapahoe basin

the grey pillow of sky

tucked into the corner

of the mountain range

an oily smear of road

stretching into the future

where the skiing was

dreaming perfectly content

to live through this day where

bono's voice fills the room

the bucking delay of guitars

the sense of what the world

looked like twenty years ago

standing under the heating vent

not yet ready to show the world

our long, thick, shaved vaginal folds

still not finding what we were

looking for, dogs and drugs,

turquoise ribbed rivers

sparkling caves of blackness

filled with nose horses

riding off into the forever

(blood came out of her blurry face

bleeding the chin of divorce)

straight into the fists of detroit

all better (watercolor on watercolor paper)

oops

this poem wants to fuck a fat bitch 

with bad breath

sober as the moon

with no excuses

this poem has a PHD in european history

this poem takes advil motherfucker

this poem will get your ass killed if you

decide to go into war with just this poem

this poem is a shut in who would prefer to order out

this poem is a forest bee. naked and unassuming

this poem doesn't give a shit about your needs

this poem is very angry at you for leaving

this poem won't be that sad when

the entire world is destroyed to death

this is a bad poem

a very bad poem
