"skullcandy" poems
lyrical rhymes, beats in epic time
dance around ten times the dime
that's beats per minute, 100 plus
wonderful noises reminiscent of us
dark poets sing of ravens and owls
while I sing of roars and howls
serenades in escalades, roll down the powershades
Dubstep beat-drops, guitar string heart-throbs
all of them blast through my Skullcandy's
dance the dance of wine and brandy
drunken and wild and not so mild
spark animal instincts, to hunt and mate
mangled sheets and broken beds
lie below the newlyweds
as the saxophone and trombone
softly sweep around their home
Deadmau5, Skrillex and Nero
party hard to Guitar Hero
while I slave over my laptop
listening to the beat drop.

Pulling out of the drive through, trying to turn left.
Look left, clear. Look right, busy.
Wait for right,
waiting waiting.
Clear, pull through.
"WAIT! Don't go"
slam on breaks
sit partly into intersection
i place my hand on your knee,
i see you trying to swallow, hoping i don't notice while you giggle half-heartidly in attempts to trick me.
"That would have been me....."
"can we not..." as I try to make you feel better.
2 hours later i sit on your bed reading A Thousand Splendid Suns as you play some game (???) on your computer.
Skullcandy earbuds followed by a prehistoric lamination machine, much like this poem.
laminating those moments within my plastic sheet-brain
