It's been so long since that witch and her tricks. Nothing but old yellow bricks.

What's Left of Oz - A Haiku
the sting your stubble left is still lingering on my lips, like invisible mosquito bites that tickle more than itch, as i wrap my arms around your neck, i ask: just friends? and readjust myself in your lap. so you pull me in closer, you nod to confirm: the two of us, we’re nothing more than zookeepers. throwing fresh meat in the den of the lioness, controlling those animals lying deep inside of us.

Some things are just too strong to take on their own. Like my coffee harsh, bitter, and black, offensive to my tongue. But still so necessary is the caffeine wired within, so vital to the start of my long days. But I can make it bearable. Add some non-fat dairy creamer + sugar. Just fluff, it’ll go straight to my gut, to get the caffeine past my tongue and wake me, allowing me to see what I could not when the alarm first screamed.

poetry: non-fat dairy creamer + sugar
My poor friend Mike, he’s drunk again. Two beers and he’s already texting me. “they playd that songg u luv nd it reminded me of u”. A few more cups and we’re at, “heyyyyy u like my abs?” and then an “lol cuz i really like u.” Then soon, “im home, but u shuld b here 2.”  And then he spills some more: “i thnk ur cute :)” shows on my phone We’re friends, I think. He’s drunk. It’s just a fluke. It gets too late. He begs, “will u plz tuck me in?” And when his eyes begin to droop, the last: “forgiv me plzzz but we shud **** Embarrassment exudes when we next pass. He looks at me, his face bright red. I laugh.

note like tanto i an kinda drynk
As I slinked slowly down the basement stairs, I heard a slam! and turned in fear. The door was shut, to my surprise. I was alone, but for my bag. I brushed my hand across the wall as I went down the last few steps. I found the switch. I flipped it up.The light, so bright, swung left and right above. It flickered on and off and on. It hummed. I wanted just to turn that thing right off, but soon my eyes forgave the harsh white light and I continued on. The bag, my crime, on my shoulder began to weigh some more. I watched the light slowly stop swinging before I moved. The freezer, sitting silently, agreed the light was right. They hummed a sigh, not for, but at me. Just shut up! I thought to them. Of course, they didn’t hear. The hum kept on, and so must I. With my free hand I raised the freezer’s lid. The cold damp tongue of air began to lick my face. Be fast, I thought and fed that freezer my mistake. I slammed that lid and turned my back on both. The light, so bright, swung left and right above. It flickered on and off and on. It judged. That light! It made me want to scream! I found the switch and flipped it off. The dark enveloped me.

Down the Basement Stairs
The bristles wrestle away the morning plaque settled on my teeth. The ones in the far back, I take care of first. Brushing up and down, then left and right, all the way around. That evening spent sitting on the terrace, you gave me your flannel shirt. It was cold out, so I took it. But the armpits were wet with your sweat. I lean over the sink, capture a mouthful of cold water. I wait before I let it roll around my teeth. Reflected towards me is me, with gigantic chipmunk cheeks. That afternoon I woke up, you looked so cute, refusing to let go, arms wound so tightly around me. But I really had to get up and *** The water warms up a little bit. I start to swirl and swish it through before I part my lips. I release the lukewarm mixture of grime and paste. Finally--the inside’s pure. This morning, I feel the new smoothness of my teeth with my tounge. Yea, you might be gone. But I’m pretty sure you were not the one.

New Mouth/New Day
In the winter, my fuzzy blue gloves do wonders for me. They protect my hands from the freezing cold, keeping them in a state of nice and warm. But those same gloves are not always so nice and comforting. Leave them on through mid-August. My hands will boil, and be reduced to puddles of sweat. Besides, don’t I look so silly, wearing those fuzzy blue gloves paired with tank top and shorts, in the sizzling Summer sun?

A Time and Place
You said I looked cute. Shocked and flattered, I said thanks. Then you walked away

Mustaches (so grand and furry on their faces) take men great places.
