pope worthy
telescope in hand

guess i didn’t
see you
guess you weren’t
standing
over there

it’s a long slow
fucking lane
filled with killers
and people of
higher learning
university presidents
and bank teller
counting receipts

bought a rubix cube
never really figured
it out

3 in a row

dirt defined by
ashes and lust
between two apple
trees.how jealousy
developed,take a photograph.
there was vinyl then
used for cars and
records.i love you
because i heard it on
the radio.didn’t really
know why or when.it
will happen while you
are at the bar with
your friends.pour that
over some ice and
please bring me an ash tray.

we are
the drugs you have
taken
take
the jump master
the leap

old in the shadow
follows me around
stays awake
while
i sleep

will
miss you
one
day
tomorrow

the insane rainbow
showing colors
you would not believe

paint on a pallet
the brushed dipped
a line on a canvas

let’s go camping
let’s go see the wind
on mt washington

let’s climb a tree
ride a dirt bike
as a tire

pretend we are human
share pictures
childhood memories

holding your hand
then finally
letting go

as we dream
as fish fly
thru
water
and
the sky returns
the favor
and cries
for forgiveness or
strength

it’s been said
time heals

then
i look at you
then
i look at me
and i wonder

how

days in the hospital

had the tv on
while i slept
on a pile of
injustice

i am here because
my stomach exploded
those doctors seem
amused

does that hurt
we
are here to take
blood

and the bag filled
with nutrition
dripped

flat lined a couple days
i think

and the bag just
dripped

with memories of
her very first
orgasm

joyfully described breaking
hearts and
resentment

the taste of love
with ketchup

a marching band playing
guns and roses
a new song
never even heard

driving down the highway
then
listening

for a modern
memory

add water
to
a seed
in the dirt
and watch
as
it performs some
magic
