Poet Introduction
Holy shit!
Four minutes out and all was well
Four minutes before I
ran out the door
chasing other dick
I was on your lap
listening to the way
my full name
rolled off your
southern lips
Three minutes before
I ran out the door
I said I wondered
what your neck
tasted like
and you said
"your pussy"
you called me a
twin flame
as we wrapped
around each other
like skin grafts
and later ....
I pulled
my torn stockings
from the floor
next to your bed
and...
ran out the door
chasing other dick

It should have been you
I grew a landing strip
on my bald lady garden
because I wanted
a change
and I love the way
the smooth skin
feels next to a
tight little bundle
of dark curls in
a perfect porn star strip
you were right about
the way I felt
about
you
That time you
almost asked
That message that we
both knew would have
been a beginning
That wasn't in your head.
I was a chicken shit
for pulling away
but your arms felt
less dangerous ...

chain rattling assbags of the past
The cloth ordered in our size
had beatings
and poverty
woven in the grain
and our makers cut us
arm-and-neck from that single
cloth before burning it
with our backs still in it.
I saw you in the shards of
the mirror I hated myself in.
And you.
There was no one like you,
like me,
like you.
We were as funny as
as smart as
as sexy as
as damaged as
as widly passionate as a moment
snapped from a workvan of the
rising sun on an alien ocean

I keep picking the scabs with the clock hands
My bloody heel prints
marked a path from the
broken clockface to the door
where I wandered
this last time
there was a part of me
that believed we'd meet again
and a smaller part
that wanted to
I limp away
to find a Walgreens
or a CVS
where I can buy
a bottle of peroxide
and a box of band aids
time only heals cuts
you don't re-open

Dick whipped
There is a theory
the polar caps
will periodically
flip
completely.
upending the world in
a single shift
Your dick did that to me.
You have the best dick.
It's the biggest.
Thickest.
Nicest shaped.
Neatly groomed.
And it used
my uvula like a
punching bag for sperm
from the pussy-side
I ache when I piss just
thinking about you in me
and I got dick whipped.
I wanted you more
than you wanted me

TPK
We built worlds
like elite DMs,
built lives
and diversions
and adventures,
and stuck a purple dildo
in the butt crack of
rationality
and fucked the hell out of the
space-time continuum
but we never found
the spell
to give
life back
to these ragged
bones of us
My ghost wafts aimless
in the graveyard,
and looks fondly
at the corpse
of a love
I thought
had a zillion
hit points
but went down
with a few
misplaced
goodbyes

The last song for Calvin and Hobbes
we were gods and kings
in a paper mache forts
we pinky-swore to
never let the bastards
grind us down
we ate roadways
with rubber soles
and rubber tyres
while clouds
rested on
mountains
like fat sheep
i visit the clubhouse
a final time before demo
and smile at the dusty
comic books
and like my namesake
in our duo of terror and
malicious glee
I feel as if
I'm stuffed,
and sitting in a corner
of the room,
waiting only
for you to...

Mattress sale on the corner of Nostalgia and Fourth Street
My ass was a
garden of violets,
purple blooms,
as your cane taught me that
bad fucking girls
get
bad
fucking
men
And I wanted a bad. fucking. man.
I was an angel in black lace,
all crazed youth-filled passion
and lack of awareness,
and you fucking
loved the way
I'd make you bleed
just to get close enough to
t a s t e
the little
hollow at the
base of my throat
you loved the way I'd
crawl in your lap
like a petulant child
and beg for...

David Lewis and the concept of bearded men
The concept
of us in all time
and in no time
at the same time
a bitch-baby concept
to grasp.
Because the multiverse theory
says there are
infinite worlds,
and we exist
in some form
in each
So I assume rather
arrogantly
that a version of
Me
You
Us
wafts through all
space and time
in a philosophical
reduction
that we call:
quantitative parsimony
Each thing is a thing. ...

This year I'm giving up shoes and social media -- just kidding
This new year I want to be a better person,
so I'll do some unattainable shit like
vow to piss away less time ,
to run more,
overthink less,
drink more water,
and eschew single-use plastic like it was
crawling with enviro cooties
and maybe I'll give up
social media,
and Taylor Swift,
and my argument,
that a taco is a
motherfucking sandwich
(you know it is)
maybe I'll give up...
you
as much as I...

In a world of Juliets, call me Lady Macbeth
I had to sub a Sophomore Lit class
when the professor was out
with COVID
And my inner literary snob
screamed a thousand
deaths when the 20-year-old zygotes
romanticized about
Romeo and Juliet.
I smiled and fluttered
my eyelashes
and smashed those
cute little bitches
who thought they
invented thought
with actual arrogance.
You see children,
