My mom used to tell me when I was a kid that thank you note is important. To let people know that you're thankful, and appreciate their efforts. As I grow older, I'm so used on writing thank you notes with the same template on every note. But I, or we, tend to forget to write one for those who cope with our lives. So I wrote this one is for you. Thank you for letting me crash in your place when I was far from sober, almost on every Friday nights. You literally picked me up when I'm down. On the grown. Thank you for staying up with me until 5 even when you got a big meeting at 8 in the morning. Because you know how much I hate sleeping, but I'll be the bitchiest ***** if you try to wake me up. Thank you for bringing me a bouquet of fake flowers instead of the real one. You sure know me way too well to know that I can't keep real flowers alive. Or cactus, or fishes, or my phone's battery. Yea, my phone's battery ***** But you trust me to keep what we have, alive. And lasts as long as it possibly could. Thank you for making every queue line less boring with all your dad jokes, they made me think that you're a qualified good father to your future kids. Or maybe ours. But I hate children and you love them, as much as I hate karaoke and as much as you love it. But gosh, you made me think of adopting. We are nothing but night and day. A thunderstorm and a rainbow. A cactus and a peony. A manageable chaos and a managed you. And yet we compliment each other like peanut butter and pickle on a sandwich. Sure, it's one of the weirdest combination but somehow it goes surprisingly fine. I swear I'm not going to make this cheesy but if it was, well, **** I know this is not what you imagine to be with me in the first place when you slipped into my life. But I thank you, for deciding to stay.

the good things in life seem to stay; like the color yellow, or a warm summer's day waking up early, running barefoot in grass feeling the morning dew brush past hearing the twinkle of an ice cream truck if you go, you'll catch it, with luck eating a popsicle as the sun beats down riding a bike through a small playground when dusk comes, once again we're swimming at night and playing with friends lighting sparklers that shine brighter than stars popping cap guns you could hear from afar running barefoot right down the street giving the neighborhood dog a treat taking polaroids like the pictures will stay but lost them then, by the next summer day watching as fog rolls slowly ahead the sun goes down, so time for bed excitement and thrill, time for a sleepover the day, for now, will never be over! karaoke on beds at the crack midnight crashes of thunder, scary stories, and fright! still, pretty soon,  we get used to it or in the summer, it all happens quick never sleeping, don't want it to end even though there's the weekdays and weekend glowing lights hang above the bed sleepy eyes remind us dumb things said summer, now, doesn't last forever even if we must change the weather we must savor it, you and me and kiss summer hello thrillfully!

Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for The band is slightly out of tune But, hey who gives a **** They sound better later on When you are really lit By two a.m you'd think that they Were Alabama and  George Jones While you're trying to record them on Your prissy little phones This place don't karaoke You're singing with the band You're singing country music It's the best in all the land No running shoes, just cowboy boots Will get you in the door If you come in with a cowboy hat Make sure it faces to the front All the dude's they wear them backwards And they look like a dumb c*** Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for You can listen for the steel guitar It's there in every song Hey man, this here's a country bar And steel guitar , it just belongs There's always background fiddle Drums like Levon from The Band Piano played like Jerry Lee The floor's all blood and sand You've come on out to party Now show them how a redneck does Knock back a few and get up here And when you dance, you cuss The music here will rock you It's American through and through It's a good old country party It's all red white and blue

Into a place far away but too familiar, I push open the rusty purple gates, Inhale a lungful of the province air, Kick away blue pebbles on the dusty ground, And then Mano my lolo, my tito Beso my lola, my tita And give my cousins a nudge on the arm, A pinch on the cheeks. I squeeze between four people In a rickety wooden bench and Pass around plate after heavy plate. I fill my banana leaf With spaghetti too soft too sweet, Almost like pudding, With crispy chicken dripping with oil. I wash it off with a cool glass of gulaman, Chewy beads and gems in sugary water. Fathers talk about basketball, boxing, billiards; Mothers browse through photo albums and magazines; While we children argue about Superman or Batman. Our laughter fills the humid air And goes up, up, up to the ears of the neighbors. In celebration of the time we have together And a nice sunny day We devour our meals And go ahead and Climb trees and Get our faces sticky with sweet fruits, Lick chocolate ice popsicles, Chase each other in the weedy playground, Bike around town, Pick colorful flowers, Wrestle with each other, Play badminton on a windy day, Scare around chickens and guinea pigs, And play patintero under the dull orange street lamps. We nervously creep inside the back door, All sweaty, bearing bruises and scratches But still with wide smiles on our faces. All is futile though. An angry grandmother awaits, Scolding us for Coming home past sunset. More and more stars glitter the sky As the night gets deeper and deeper. The gentle evening breeze whistles a note As it enters through the window. The karaoke blasts grating voices Interrupted by hearty laughter. Playing cards and corn chips litter the table. We children exchange jokes and ghost stories. And then, We bid our goodbyes, Sharing hugs and kisses Stained with discontent and sadness. Our hearts about to burst In excitement for the next Reunion.

“My dream date is after we’ve already been dating for a few months and decide to go out on the town. We meet a cute guy, buy him drinks, and spend the next few hours laughing together and maybe slaying it at a karaoke bar. Afterwards we invite him back to my place and get into some role play. I become Israel, he Palestine, and you The Goddess that helps them finally come together, even though Israel has to bend over a little bit to make it happen. Confession: this is a dream date. I have to become really committed to physical therapy again in order to get my singing voice back for karaoke and I live with old country people so it’d have to be at your place.”

Threesomes
I died on a Tuesday and found my way in the news Caught between a commercial and karaoke singing girl Was the appearance of the killer but they only had his shoes I approached the desk and rang a little bell Saint Peter took out a pen, found my name and said "You're not on the list, you must be looking for Hell." I tried to appeal for trial in Heavenly Courtroom Twelve Judge Jesus and Judy had to declare a hung jury And during recess I had to find a bed in Purgatory Hotel In Room 237, I met a man named Avery He was a little cynical and said that this was typical That "it took them 18 years to finally save me." In the morning I finally I got to hear the verdict Led by a jury of peers such as writers and queers They said hell awaits those whose life isn't worth it

Hell Awaits
Two years ago on Valentine's Day We had an attempt at reconciliation And did 69 on a small sweaty couch In a karaoke bar. One year ago on Valentine's Day You avoided eye contact with me and this year You'll probably kiss someone else And not talk to me but That's okay. Because it'll be just like three years ago When I didn't know you and I had a pretty good day. I don't know. Maybe it won't be exactly like that. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to deceive myself or anything, It's just hard to say what real and what's An admission Of incompatibility.

After Our Final Attempt at Reconciliation
Known for obsession with heartbreak, Turning sounds of heartbroken tears into anthems, The words we all feel But could never produce turned into a karaoke song Volume as loud as it can go, Trying to drown out memories of the high you gave me The naive girl in the songs sounds more like me, As I replay the red flags With each heartbreak had there’s a song to be played

I think in Japanese, write down my thoughts in English, then twist it all back into sushi: a tasty bite to eat. My mind is like origami folding thoughts into meditation; meditation unfolds into a crisp sheet of city lights. I love you big much, love you big time; I love the way you giggle nervously. Titter-titter, "Tee-hee-hee!" It must be amazing to find everything so funny. Big city, sake sunset; a karaoke moon rises over a robotic, neon inception. (transmutation) Transformers, Transformers: autobotic-neurotic Bumblebee comes to the aid of Samurai Prime. "Autobots, transform!!" Bored of the bright lights? Weary of the snappy-happy gaijin doing photo-photo while they look for a sweet sakura-panpan? Then take a leisurely stroll up to Hokkaido, where there's less sucky-sucky, and more bow-down-low-austerity alongside the 108 gongs a-bonging. Chant a few prayers, speak with the sacred cedars, take a dip in the hot springs with some smiling monkeys, and watch snow fall, together. Nippon, you offer everything. I can eat 20 times a day without gaining a pound. There's always more room for miso, chanko nabe, shabu-shabu, gyozo, okonomiyaki— I am going to stop writing this list so that I don't drown in my saliva. I refuse to look back, refuse to go back to the boredom of white picket fences and hamburger dreams; I want to stay here forever. I love you big much, love you big time; totemo ureshii da.

obviously to think and enjoy it you have to turn your mind into a mollusc in an oyster shell, slow... slow... (yawn)... slower... then you suddenly get electrocuted! boom! now you're thinking, you're not as tense as a running cheetah, hard rock heart muscle, not too eager on karaoke of karate, you're the tortoise outrunning achilles; because the brain enables such functioning, it's not exactly an eager heart in the university of the body - and why is it that domestic life has completely succumbed to the gratifications of chemistry with toothpaste and bleach and other cleaning materials; i wouldn't be against doping athletes, i'd tell them to embrace it... let's synthesise another world record sprint in the olympics, because an analysis would mean talking about 9.58 / 9.51... and that would be as interesting as looking at the rosetta stone for clarification of ancient egyptian: owl, big fish, little fish carbohydrates boxed; and still a flea could outrun you, a flea, yeah, never mind the cheetah.

big fish, little fish, cardboard box (kevin & perry)
Posing squirrels Legs crossed Hands on hips Chins held high And a smile to drive Your mind like A merry-go-round! Talking trees Strong limbs Thin and thick ******** for more space Their high and low Pitched voices Sending thunders through The ear-holes Of birds Zigzagging For escape Through the branches Dancing water Taking form of the Most beautiful treasures The eye can behold Then suddenly transforming To a most frightening sight! In one moment A nymph strumming the Horse gut strings Of an oak guitar An instant later A giant serpent All slim and Venomous goo With the head of The death crone The legs of a Rooster It's iguana tongue Searching for Your face! You look at your own Reflection in the mirror You try to speak to Yourself Only you have No mouth No ears No nose No taste or voice No ability to listen No smell But what's this!? You ask... My reflection has all these things! And with the Evil jest of a Jealous twin Your mirror self Mocks you! Poking out her tongue Dancing to music You can't hear And making exaggerated Sniffs of the Perfume air... All this with only your Eyes to see What a nightmare! Thank nature Our imagination Roams free in our head Not physically in our world! If that were the case... What kind of world Would we live in? Skeletons wearing Coconuts Singing karaoke... Hummingbirds ******* the juice From our eyeballs... Again I say Thank nature Our imagination Roams free in our head Not freely In our world! *Inspired at a festival, while I observed all the fun happening around.*

I should have run to Japan, to be the writer that I can, to sing folk to girls who are smiling because they can, I should have road the rails, staring at the never ending cities with hearts ablaze, ducking down into a dreamland maze of alley ways, give my poems to hobos and gays, and find any naru to sing karaoke, go into dens and clubs that traded air for smoking, I'd be the talk of toast, and the **** of the island, or I'd get drunk with samurais on a foam pylon, I'd ask a geisha to dance, but get nervous and spill my drink all over my pants, I'd go with malcontents and roughdy otakus as we hit the arcades on speed, I'd stay at a hotel and get married married in the states, I'd fall in love with a girl for a weekend and shed tell me she hates fancy dinners but loves dates, I would end up sleeping in the hills, high and full of chills, I'll tell school children what the stars mean, even though they can't be seen, I'll write a poem about my sin, of wanting my right, my right of a writing man, in Japan.

Will she have green eyes, or is this another bad rhyme
The road was wet with rain And they were sharing the same umbrella. They were just about to cross the street, While inside a jeepney I sat in pain; Staring at the loading area, Thinking that what have followed him were supposed to be my feet. At some restaurant in a mall, They sat, talked, and ate dinner. They were together from afternoon 'til evening, While I just came home after a stroll, Thinking how much she was a winner For having what I have always been wanting. He says he had so much fun, Going from places to places with her. They had karaoke and then some. I guess I could start shooting myself with a gun, Than to tell myself I'm fine, and be a liar. What is to lose, anyway? I have none. I guess my role isn't really that good. I thought being his girl is one thing I wouldn't trade. But it seems like their roles are better than mine. They are the ones who can make his mood. I guess I'd rather be his comrade, Than to be his girl; for which he has no time. If I were a greek goddess, Then I must be Hera; And he must be Zeus. I'm jealous, I confess; Of all the women he was with this era. I'm the one he loves, but I wonder how long can I be his muse.

Jealousy
I shoud've told the bartender to tie me to the last working pay phone. But I didn't. I let her introduce herself. Sadie, she said, like The Beatle's song. I'm hard to forget, so I asked, What's your motto? She breathed in reverse. She looked at the door. She was past mottos. It was Josh, right? Yeah. Let me tell you something. I'm the bad, **** ***** that's gonna wreck your health. And she did. Every weekend for 105 weekends. I opened her up like a paycheck. I spent her on a big brass bed. I spent her on glass tile. I spent her on the kitchen island. The Japanese table. The water lily pond. Her brother Frank or Gary or Marvin---some American classic---kept us horizontal with white whiskey from his personal still. Personal still. And there is a house in New Orleans, but there's another one in Colorado Springs, one you should be wary of. I shoud've told the bartender to tie me to the last working pay phone. But I didn't. I let him tell me about his dream. My name is Jack, he said, as in Jumpin' Jack Flash. Like the Rolling Stones' song? Like the Stones' song, man. You were in it. Four white girls shared one mic. Karaoke night. You were in my dream. Are you listening to me? I'm gonna say it anyways. I only had one eye, but I could see you. Seen you plain as day. You were scared of me. As you should be. We were on the coast. No, I don't know which one. I saw that thought on your forehead. It was a dream. Anyway, you were holding a pen. A giant pen. And I asked for your name. I lifted my drink from the makeshift napkin coaster. Pulled a pen out of my coat pocket. Straightened out the napkin. I scribbled Nobody. Handed it to him. And aimed myself toward the interstate. I shoud've told the bartender to tie me to the last working pay phone. But I didn't. She had one helluva an afro. Her name was Katrina, not like any song, like the hurricane. My skin tastes a little like coffee, Katrina said. I like coffee. You wouldn't like me. Probably not. But I've been lost in this bar forever. I could change my mind. No, sweetie. Forever ain't that long. Just ask my ex-husband. Katrina paid for her drink. Asked me if I'd like the change. Yeah, I'll take it. I called my buddy Chris back in Oklahoma, but he didn't answer. I called my buddy Ben back in Oklahoma, but he didn't answer. Sam. Sarah. Brooks. Nothing. Silence. Barkeep (I always wanted to say it), I don't think your phone is working. It works. You gotta remember kid. You're on Rocky time. There's an hour, every night, where you're the only person you know that's awake.

Croaky Karaoke You poke your eyes out, you put your eyes in, you poke your eyes out, and no vision makes you shout, You do the croaky karaoke, and twist yourself around, people next to you become astound. You pull your ears off, you put your ears on, you pull your ears off, now you can't hear the applause. You do the croaky karaoke, and twist yourself around, no longer can you hear a sound. You pull your tongue out, you put your tongue in, you pull your tongue out, the blood starts to pour like a spout. You do the croaky karaoke, and twist yourself around, now it's tough even for a clown. You yank your teeth out, you put your teeth in, you yank your teeth out, and that's what life's all about. You do the croaky karaoke, and twist yourself around, by now your underwear is browned. You rip your head off, you put your head on, you rip your head off, people are using your eyes for golf. You do the croaky karaoke, and twist yourself around, now you're dead, as you fall to the ground. It was a party at the ***** colony, the croaky karaoke was pure comedy.

Sing with me, I've slept with bloodshot eyes I've dreamt of a sunrise that erases everything   Oh, every thing Move with me You won't have to be alone Wrap your hand around a microphone And sing with me until the sun comes Sleep with me Talk to me about yourself all night We'll grow tired as the dawn bites And lay side by side, with no where to hide Too tired- we can pretend to be dead Too bad it's all in my head It's all in your head We'll never be dead

2. Karaoke-Carbon Dating
I. you never saw me in winter: shearling fur and kettlebell boots my outer crust cracking from one step outdoors. I wear socks to bed and smoke Belmonts to cover my breath with toxins instead of you. II. I never wear pants when I’m with you mostly because I’m hoping to re-enact me walking over the Millennium Bridge in May. if the wind pushed any further up my skirts, it would force my lungs right out my throat. my hotel room called for us but you were on a plane to Norway and I was in my head. III. the last time we had *** you told me you’d finish me off first next time but I’m always like your backup song for karaoke, in case someone takes your first choice. you never: acknowledged that my rice was shaped like a heart and yours like a star at dinner, ask me what my tattoos mean, but always ask me if I’m pregnant. you’re a roll of film that needs be developed but I keep smearing the edges with my fingers and scanning the red light over myself.

aeipathy: a trilogy
Anyone can enter your church No matter what their age Mine, well, you have to be legal At least in the section that doesn't serve food Yours smells of incense and candle wax The air smells of wood polish Mine has stale beer and on humid days Remnants of cigars and cigarettes from years ago We have windows that can open But, most times they are painted shut Yours, beautiful colors of glass Images from the bible, glorious You have a choir singing the grace of God My place of worship has live bands once a month Karaoke on Fridays with wanna be singers Making us pray to God for it to end You have pictures of Saints on your windows And tapestries on the walls The closest we have is posters of sports teams And The St. Pauli girl promoting beer You will never find me at your church But, we may find you in ours on occasion We don't have sacramental wine like you But, we do have a larger drink menu for all People come to your church to wash away their sins Then a few hail Mary's and a Lord's Prayer With us, they come to drown their sorrows And our hail Mary's have bacon, 2 for 1 on Sunday Our sky pilot will listen like your pastor He doesn't judge unless you get too drunk But, that's on him, not you Your pastor won't judge, but, still gives penance I know where I am Sunday I know where you are too Your church is not always open Mine's good from 10 till 2

My church or yours?
I fell [through hugs and kisses, arguments, Italian takeout, suits and dresses, texts at 2 am, summer karaoke nights, missed curfews, coffee, ****** movies, classic '70s songs, stairs, health food and vegetables, fights, antagonism, test scores, spaceships, and happiness] in love.

Him.
People are a lot like songs there are songs that you love the first time but they grow old very fast and you no longer care to hear them there are songs that drive you insane, that seem to be everywhere and get stuck in your head so easily no matter how much you want them gone there are songs you can't get enough of but you only listen to them when you're sad because they are not the happiest of songs there are songs everyone else loves that you yourself don't enjoy quite as much and there are songs you love that no one else cares for there are songs you feel touching your heart that you want to learn the words to but they lose their magic once you know the words that were hidden amongst the loud instrumentals there are songs from long ago that show up now and then that you regard fondly and think back to simpler times there are songs that make you feel rebellious ready to overthrow an unjust tyrant and there are songs that leave you with a strange sense of purpose and spark inspiration and hope within you there are songs with lyrics profound and wise and others with lyrics that do not hold the least bit of sense I personally hope that you will be a song that never gets old that I know each and every word to I hope you are a song that brings happiness whenever you come on the radio and for a moment, you make me forget everything and I lose myself in your melody I hope you are a song that is my first choice every time I go to karaoke because you just feel so right and i hope you are a song that sounds better to me the longer I listen that leaves me thoroughly satisfied as the last note plays out and the music fades to silence

Karaoke Night
. Seems that I'm spending most of my time down at the Karaoke King. Under more normal circumstances I wouldn't even say a thing.(But...) I need to invest some more time in me or I'll never become a star, because I've sunk a pretty penny just pimpin' out my car. And this Mississippi mud is even bogging down my truck, and if I don't keep it rockin' I may never get unstuck. Success always comes from hard, hard work it never comes to you from afar. Would you please remind me tonight to change the strings on my air guitar? And I've been too tired to dance with my own silhouette. I just want a house out in the country, and a brand new black Corvette. My future's slowly rising, it shouldn't take me long. You see, this stage has been my home and this here's my new song! I need to invest some more time in me or I'll never become a star, because I've sunk a pretty penny   just pimpin' out my car. And this Mississippi mud is even boggin' down my truck, and if I don't keep it rockin' I may never get unstuck. Wont you help me, please; won't you help me? Because I want to be a star. Just do me a favor and remind me tonight to change the strings on my air guitar. Please do me a favor and remind me tonight... to change the strings on my air guitar. .
