POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
You call that cool?
She has fire and brimstone between those thighs.
wants more than a kiss
More than a conversation or a confession
She's after everything and in one form or another that's what I'll give her
part of me knows this to be the end of me. the other part finds it hard to function when I mention that her grouchy Green eyes look tired
which never fails to make her to light up like jackolantern full of napalm with that disconnected smile and taste for sentiment
ten times out of ten it does me in
in the dirtiest fashion.
Our moments always raw.

Lilly
I was born January 1st 1987 at 434 am
The second child born in Denver Colorado that year
The first being a girl named Lilly Newton
The story goes - miss Lilly made it into the newspaper - the article read "Newest edition to the lovely mile high city." the picture positioned -just so- making her out like some sort of prodigal Jesus baby deemed worthy of literary notice.
To this day I've never seen that news clipping- but I have this vision in my head of a lion king type scene with a doctor holding a baby above and over a granite balcony while nurses - orderlies and...

She talked
And talked
And fuck
Could she talk
It was feverish
Seemed she was going in circles
which made me wonder
if it was more about attention than conversation
a nervous twitch with which
painted out words with shaky hands
Why does she shake so much.
I continued the conversation out of respect
Not really listening to her
but the voices in my head.
Did I leave the oven on
I wonder if she's an alcoholic
I need an aa meeting
I don't think she caught onto the social ques
Because five minutes into this horror show of...

Let's talk
Listen, don't hit me with that
weather talk - Tv Talk
I don't care about how much rain we got
no - sports - guilty gossip
Or cordial surface level salutation
Simply
let us not salute the shallow
Let's talk about fire
Fierce facts - soft science - and fantasy
Let's talk about burning and passion
How piss poor preparation produces poor performance
Fuck getting horizontal
fuck getting vertical
Let's get conscious
Create something connected
Cognizant
Help me to understand dissonance between culture
Then create harmony...
