I like Shakespeare's sonnets and hip hop verse. I'm into spoken word.
You toss superlatives at me like a short order cook flings eggs at a griddle I love you more than any man has loved a woman. A ring, a daughter's name, a retirement plan. I love you the max. You are the water bottle I take to work the jars of canned fish hiding in the cupboard the baking supplies unused on the kitchen table the night that falls the patch of green that joins the sidewalk to the street the bedspread I crawl under alone and waiting when I can't sleep. You are for me.   You are.  You can't not be.

What is love anyway
After the end she wore the beige bra that she bought for him because he liked plain things   under a dark turtleneck that meant she was mourning their loss even if maybe he wasn't she shivered into the street and watched the palm drop on the moon, the stars pop out like street lights whose bulbs you couldn't change, their high up light bleached the night, falling over the Prius, bouncing off the half-bumpered Honda, sliding down the metal window connector of the neighborhood's only El Dorado before ending up on pavement like most things do the garage seemed to radiate and other people's windows glowed yellow as she turned to go a cat rolled across the four lane road like it was a meadow

After that this
The trees duck and sway A branch thrown here, a leaf dropped there A trunk flung across the walk The cars drift as their neon headlights scratch the black To find traffic lines To guide their climb (not finished) I sit in a window behind a curtain that looks like bark I water my plants, I sit on finished wood And I wait For nature to run away

Hi Seattle I'm back and I've got a sunburn. Most mornings I stay up late. Most mornings I regret. The pattern persists. ART IS _______. #ilovemydog #selfie #blessings #progress #goodthings #fortune #goodhealth #itsnotjustfitness #itslife #mdw2013 ten tries to get a good shot the words, the feel, the scene, its meaning: A slave stood whispering "all glory is fleeting." News at 6... vacationer paraglides into window of own hotel. lol. We are the land of the free because of the brave.   Best. BBQ. Ever. 3 easy steps race, class, gender intersect Words cannot express Gratitude for those who have given.  If I only had one more day. I really want a pair of roller blades.

Man woman break apart the end before the start Timing belt wails He bails, she trails another sad tale Time marches on and still she dreams of dawn
