theres this one rug in my house
by the front door
just full of dirt and cat hair and dog hair from a long deceased dog
and no matter how hard i try
to push the vacuum over it
to shake the dirt off
it remains as is
*****

the vacuum can make a fuss and claw and nip at its edges
but there that rug is
its just *****
Polarized and politicized
for the first time in years
I have found my candidate. –
I voted for Billy,
through my parents,
then for Gore
and Kerry
looking to stop the fascism
that used to be a party of
Republicans. –
Then came the B-Rock star
who I voted for twice,
but more from a fan stand
than an actual political disposition;
life-long party man
with a new face of America
in a house
racist by his presence.
But policy, generally,
remained the same
and my distain
remained. –
Today I watched Senator Sanders
give a speech to thousands
in Wisconsin
youtube saves the day,
and my political life
as I have found my candidate…
and unlike Ron Paul,
I feel this movement
could be a revolution
of ideas
and I will be a part of it. –
It has been so many years
since I waved a propaganda flag
that I didn’t write myself,
it makes me happy,
to take a break
and let a professional
rabble-rouser
do his thing. –
In reality
I could not
keep him,
so instead
I wrote him
into every line
and weaved him
into every story
so that
he and I
could live
forever.

the moon used to follow me
and the stars pinned up the sky

the scariest part of the night
was getting out of bed to turn my cassette tape

now i am little more than a speck
in the infinitely huge universe

and i have my playlist on shuffle
We need to be and not have
We need to be who we are
Even as nature made us
Be happy at any time
Know write all your feelings
Be sure of its decisions, words and omissions
Be own woman
Be sure of herself
Know that every time you need ... to live, then live
The sun rises every day is a new day, so whoever you want, live as if it were the last
Have friends, people around that pleases you, that you pass the same reciprocal affection
Keep books, this is a great tool for your mind
Get real life, not virtual
Has everything and nothing at the same time.
Whether it helpful, useless, or a little too late.
The voices in my head give me advice.

Here's a list of ****** up **** my brain has told me.

1.
Dear Maggot,

As we march
further and further
into the territory of single life.
Which unfortunately
is what happens
to calloused hearts like yours
You'll realize that.
As the goal of *** shifts
from making love,
to meaningless pleasure.
The "unspoken rules."
Of the bedroom
Are always different
And should be spoken.
Loudly.

2.
Although ******* inside a woman
Who loves you enough
To want a baby is a fulfilling
Romantic experience.
******* inside this stranger,
Without a ******, and
Thinking she'll be happy about it,
Is not going to end well.

3.
Not every person
Is going to ask you to
Use a ******* ******.
Take initiative, and wrap it
Before you tap it.

4.
Now that you don't have a girlfriend,
Sleeping at a friends house
Is not always innocent.
A majority of your friends
Will try to sleep with you,  
At the very least.
All of the men will try to sleep with you.

5.
Having *** with a new gender
For the first time
Is exactly like losing your virginity
All over again.
You have no idea what you like anymore.
Why isn't this working?
That doesn't go there.
Oh my god,
Please put that there.

6.
Some of your previous ex's
Will start talking to you again.
You should still probably not sleep with them.
You should probably still not...
...Oh never mind.

7.
When a girl reaches for a 2-liter of soda
After having *** in the backseat of your car.
Do not assume she's thirsty.
She may lift the soda bottle to her ******.
I know what you're thinking,
And yes it's that bad.
Watch, as the soda magically disappears.
When she spreads her legs and says
"Drink from me"
And of course when you say:
"No"
She will get extremely upset at you.
And scream at how terrible of a person you are.
While squirting
****** coke
All over the back seat of your car.

Be very clear about where you stand
On drinking ****** coke
From the beginning.

8.
Just because someone is in a relationship,
Does not mean they won't sleep with you.
Asking if the boyfriend or husband is okay
With you guys hanging out
Is a good first step to taking the higher ground.
Asking during ***
Might **** the mood.

9.
Not every partner wants you to penetrate them.
Some people just want to be whipped.
This is not weird in the single life.

10.
These people think you are vanilla as ****.
Fetlife is not for you.
Stick to tinder.

11.
Listen here maggot,
When a girl leaves something behind,
She probably wants a second date.
Even if what the woman left you was
******* ****** coke
All over your brand new leather seats.

12.
Some of the girls you sleep with.
By some miracle,
Will still want to talk to you.
You crazy *******.
They might make amazing friends.
You might even have *** again.
And if you're lucky, they'll teach you something.

you found her
lost and insecure
her pale skin shimmering
just laying there

just a moment to late
whyd you have to wait
to find her
the clock just stopped
the tears just dried

you dont know why
you cant keep your eyes off her
you dont know where to go from here
cause it was you and her
for always and after
but just a moment to late
why did you have to wait

everything she did was beautiful
every smile glowed
every laugh warmed your soul
everything about her was perfection

whyd you have to wait
you were a moment to late
you cant keep your eyes off of her

you cant move
scared to miss the lies
hoping this is a dream
hoping to break the ties

whyd you have to wait
you were here a moment to late
starring at her body
laying on the floor
full of sorrow
why did you not listen for the screams
how could you not hear the sobs

nothings forever
except when you look at her
you cant take your eyes off her
you know once you do
it will be the last time you see her.

Just then does the pain take over.
As you fall to your knees.

Falling in love
is like holding your breath,
you will constantly ache
but you're afraid to let go of the way
her hair smells of lavender and spring.

Falling in love
is like bursting into flames,
you will perpetually burn
but you're scared you'll forget
the warmth of his chest when he holds you.

Falling in love
is like taking the first flight,
you will struggle, you will stumble,
you will fall,
but once you taste the clouds
and dance with the breeze,
you are limitless.
'So hows your love-life going?'
'I thought love was supposed to make you feel good but at times its terrible.'
'You know love is both the best and worst thing that can happen to a person coz in an amazing way it brings out the best and worst in a person...it exposes him or her.When love gives u wonderful moments cherish it but if you are not prepared to  fight it out,suffer in love and be destroyed by its incredible power you can't really learn any meaningful lesson in life.One thing is for certain....when in love never take anything for granted.You have got to keep working on it all the time.'
{arctic spring arrives
like cubes of ice floating by
seals jumping on chucks
of ice floating by to get
rest from the polar bear chase}
Remembrance of the shores in Barrow, Alaska.
