"rockford" poems
There is a hunger
Like a gun to yr head
Metal and cold
Empty yr clip
Personal ********
Egoic standup metaphysical *****
Pseudo spiritual people snakin in my garden
Workin gets harder
When you poet all the time
Clock you don't know what it looks like
A vague memory takes over me
At the corner on 15th and Rockford
I'm unheard and disturbed
No it's not ok
Know insanity like secondhand glove fit/spit atheists outta my mouth
Now you know what god Tastes like
Teeth know what gods about
Molar spell
Glamour silver
Share gardens worth of rent/have bent knees to cold Chicago concrete
Ask god
She's listening
With an open hand
Walk
Yr glistening sidewalk shine you concrete vision of glitter and litter
You performance piece about ennui
Sing
Sinner
Yr callouses
Don't ask how ok I am
We all got issues and I know you want a poem
But all I got is tissues and I didn't mean to make you cry
I jut wanted to remind you of the salt of life
The stuff dreams are made of
Homemade hair cloud spun
Wicked sister come whisper In my ear drum
Hum the chemical hymnals from our childhood
Don't hide your big tooth
Chew and chew and Chew
Purposefully at the great growing complacency

Dekalb,
Where the soil demanded a sacrifice
Of the girl with the sunflower tattoo
Dekalb,
Where I left a lot of blood
Defending your honor
Rockford,
In ICU where I woke up with
Angels at the end of my hospital bed
Rockford,
Where I woke up
on the phone
with my best-friend's ex
Arlington Heights
Where we attempted
to find our lost minds together
Arlington Heights,
...it was kind of a funny story
Illinois,
I've given you all
and I'm still here mother ******

It's cold out
but he's so warm
ands inside holds a storm
emotions and thoughts
ecstasy in the lot
but she's lonely
self esteem an all time low
she tells him to go slow
or else she may break
tears turned to a lake
caught in the act
said she has no tact
stuck in the dull and grey
eating Rockford eggs
