boredom

you lit my fire,
and no other fool
has been able
to do it since.

just an fyi

you aren't allowing
h e r
to "have her say."

therein
lies the rub.

RAGE

accusations of ****** assault
are not a smear.

think before you speak
for christ's sake.

the boys are running scared

oh,
the women are always
so silly and
c o n f u s e d!

can't you see that?
don't you see that is the problem?

listen to h e r.
l i s t e n to her.
listen t o her.

if you aren't listening to her,
you aren't listening to me.

just another day

red eyes
missing eyes
weeping, tearing,
honest
eyes.

but the economy!

you know you're poor
when the closest thing
to a vacation
is buying $2 candle wax
called "calypso sands".

lavender & eucalyptus

(a diary for today)

a hungry man
on the corner
cinnamon graham crackers
mom, tattoos, and tears...
tears streaming
for death past
and death future.
for life future.
for life now.
gramma.
violet.
a child laughing,
laughing so hard she sounds
utterly maddened.
stories and lights and wax and
wretched, wretched
life.
