POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
A clusterfuck of atoms capable of free will.
Recap
The back door please. Just set it over near the back door. Be careful not to knock my bookcase over. And if you don’t mind… I wouldn’t stare too long at the trees.
Have you seen my newest eBay find? It’s a green plate, from Pre-Colombian Ecuador. Watch what happens when you mix water with just a pinch of grandpa’s ashes.

Autobiography
we had hurried
it was damp
loud and shaking
the light turning
i was crying
laughing at me
mother always watching
kids were swinging
yelling out names
christmas tree drawings
laughing at me
cans and bottles
who's the help
janitors for grandparents
singing and dancing
yelling and screaming
judgement is passed
laughing at me
books piling high
friends coming over
things are forgotten
judgement is passed
a mirrored room
dad visiting me
police are staring
mother always watching
judgement is...
