POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Business Suit
I have a hard jaw.
I am little and small and I know nothing
but I can see.
Your red bloodshot eyes and coffee stained teeth,
as razor sharp as your business suit
Cement boxes and cardboard cut-out hearts
Glass that buckles and caves when you touch it
High up in the air
Sleigh bells, it`s winter time
You have it all.
But your suit is chaffing,
Your eyes are watering,
You are falling, breaking, disintergrating
So you call out to you maid, your wife, your pet dog
"Why!? I read it so well!"
She just looks at you
You...

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
[Like a bad idea
Mistaking bombs for
Fireworks
Like black eyes
And elbows and teeth
And holes in your clothes
Like a bad song,
Hollow and over played
Like green and blue
Broken glass diamonds
That scratch our backs
As fingernails do
Like fucking in a
Boat house]
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
