Regional.

There's a river city
close enough
to pin my sloppy
dreams on.

Shower.

You can't clean yourself
with plaster
and tile falls
like water.

Nostalghia.

Like film
and candy tins,
old dull things
seem more
on purpose.

Shampoo.

You washed
your hair
in your
dream,
but I
did the
same
just now.

I Was Blessed.

I was blessed
when you found
several seconds
to twirl for
me.

I blessed you more
with many magic
manic
hours.

We were both so
stupid
and so blessed.

Ramblers.

Always admire,
and never
respect,
a man with a
bag or
case.

Men without bags
or cases,
do whatever
feels right.

Bad Russian Fence.

"It is nice to fall down
with a pretty woman,"

I wipe my chuckles
on a nearby
beechnut,
then dare to jaw
you my open
hand.
