Wearing matching plaid kilts and knitted sweaters, I see you. Do you see me? I still have no idea how he lets me get away with this. I guess everyone has their own definition of “comfortable.” My new alarm clock. A body slam, a wiggle backwards and a kiss. Then I sit and smile, Baby how can you even sleep like that?

Please. Just one Chicken Nugget
Many creationists view the duckbilled platypus as an enigma that evolution cannot explain. Super-Platypus attempts to escape from aliens. Am I one of yours? Little Platypus? In August of that year the Submarine Support Depot platypus debate began. Out of a large cloth travel bag, Diana pulled the furry platypus hand puppet platypus-in-a-can. Boba Fett told Darth Vader, "As you wish," he was really saying, "I love you." I took a quiz once that told me I was a platypus in a past life.

Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar...
You again I will never escape you My mistake Just by virtue of being one number lower I hate you I can never have a moment’s peace because of you By you I mean me too My sins can be tallied My sin is measurable Eleven. It’s my fault as much as yours And to be honest I’m not as regretful as all that But just when I think I am free I realize my cage just extended a little farther than I thought And I suppose I deserve to suffer for those sins? Sins that amounted to nothing And a God I don’t believe in Or a devil Unless they meant you.

The First
It’s like wanting to nap I just want to sleep, toss here the gauzy blanket and charcoal pillows I’d be so much happier knowing my chairs will be empty My fingertips are always cold now So many books I’ll never get to read them all I don’t want to hug my stuffed animals I overwater my plants It’s like seeing you standing on the distant shore, if you could only see how peaceful it is here you could possibly understand If you could hear me over the crash of idle waves But we are ships set for different courses Follow your rose to somewhere warm with burnt sands Someone else wants me for his bride And it’s not an offer I can ever decline Tschuss, meine Liebe. Gute Nacht, Herzchen.

Standing in Distant Shallows on Tiptoe
I wish I could scream. But I can’t cry, I never could. Or maybe that’s a lie, but not about this, never about this. If I can’t cry I want you to make me tears. To feel the artificiality become something real Indistinguishable from my body, I scream in the rain and that makes it all true Makes it so much more real. In a way that makes the church bells pealing down the empty alleyways behind my ears seem like my conscience. Pounding and ringing ringing ringing. I will scream into the bells until I can cry Softly to myself like any normal person About things I can’t change.

An Extension of the Eye
Th-thump th-thump th-uuuuuump-ump-ump Strange skyline Under a paper moon Broken parties in the dark With still steel yelps as well My knight without stars, Wherefore art thou? Not inside this concrete palace, Nor my own bone sarcophagus. You came. You saw. You left. (Me, with this awful internal techno-music, no offense.)

Not My Kind of Night Life
So familiar the sparks of inspiration about to bloom Horripilation and several empty soup cans tip me off My time has come to be prolific, under the wise tutelage of my angelic spektor Accompanied by the wailing hormones of pre-pubescent boys trying to sing into microphones Teacher please, spare a verb? Where the ivy used to crawl up fragile arms sanguine for all intents and purposes Dear teacher, nothing electronic works in my room anymore Dear teacher, your students are all ****** Dear teacher, I retain your lessons as lacerations upside my skull Sweet teacher, reposing just across the hall and sideways a spell In a coffin of criticisms and carbon monoxide fumes The love of a generation, a single blue rose, and a jar full of tea 30 years old.
