some people like you
they like what you stand for
they hear your message
good for you
still it doesn’t mean anything
it’s an award.

the birds
as beautiful as they are
they survive
outside.

stash in your pocket
keep it for years
don’t dance with your girlfriend
no need for the beer
catapult matches
he’s not short on the charm
over the top
as he hangs from her arm
look at your friend group
who’s fooling who
shadows will follow
as long as there’s food
measurements carry
the very same weight
alone at the top
no time to wait
around and around
cant carry me home
imagine the world
without your own phone.

we’ll continue to
talk about
the change
of seasons
it’s easy conversation
an easy conversation starter
and it’s boring
and it’s safe
and I don’t
have to ask you
how your mother’s doing
and that’s good
because I know
she misses me.

my sleeping is poor
I cannot relax
my body hurts
my mind is wet
the legs and arms I have been given
are malfunctioning
the summers summer is ending
and the air is cool.

green
blue
and the Moon
makes herself
so unmistakable
there’s
no room for you.

all of that
countryside
out there
past the city
past the airport
none of casualties of civilization
I could
not find
an inappropriately
placed
anything.

All We Want Is Some Magic
there is this fantastical world
we create in our heads
when we see
something material
and lovely
a beautiful house
desirable car
or something like a beautiful house or desirable car
we fantasize
about how attractive
those people are
how wonderful
their children are
the elaborate vacations they take
they have a beautifully groomed dog
with the right name
tremendous parties
and they live carefree.
