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
