soon I found
where you wrote those words
on the back of your hand
soon I found
the black planet
where you reside
soon I found
a child’s sickness
and the comfort it takes
to make one whole
soon I found
that you went with him
with a Salisbury steak
and a name tag that read
husband
soon I found a hole
dug by a badger
I donned its claws with my fingers
I carved a toilet in the corner
I drew your face on the ceiling
soon I found
I was an animal
a boy
alone
soon I found
I was never to be conceived
I was never without legs and feet
I was never meant to
climb out of the black star
soon I found
I would be without you
forever

My friend has a voodoo doll and a nose job,
when we're at his house we drink with our
shoes off     and I'd call that a revolution.

I don't need your
faucet, I have all the
right tools at my disposal,
please ****** me:

use a ******* semicolon

I uprooted the flowers in my neighbor's garden and
I call it shadow boxing, eating the icing off my brother's
wedding cake (he's marrying someone in the army)

-first thing I'll acid-wash all my best denim

-secondly I'll dress up as a funeral director and go trick-or-treating

-thirsty for a drink of kool-aid and/or whiskey


In that case, I'll go bar-hopping with my best friend
and we'll probably get ourselves arrested, I met the
guy who smashed thirty mailboxes back in '97
(he said: the hardest part is picking the best address)

(the following is
made of the fabric
from your curtains)


I don't want to get ****** up about nothing, but
here's the antidote to loss of hearing, when you
drink fruit juice and spit things you find in your
mouth at the arcade, when I sleep in my brother's
brain I wake up a gemini and I hate french cooking

I don't miss you,

I only miss the view through your windowpane
