To me
you are the feeling I get when I’m in a moving car and the sun is bright and I close my eyes and the backs of my eyelids change all sorts of pretty colors.

St George
A 4 hour drive doesn’t sound so bad
But we’re two young kids who can’t afford the gas
And I try to write you letters but I don’t know what to say
Just circling, hoping you’ll come up through the page
Maybe I wish we had more photographs
Like of when we chased the rain at your mom & dad’s
Or of the morning light in your tired eyes
When you lean down to kiss me in the early thrift store lines
When I drive, I drown in the pink streaked skies
But it feels unsaturated and I ask myself why
I’ve got the smell of cigarettes...
But we’re two young kids who can’t afford the gas
And I try to write you letters but I don’t know what to say
Just circling, hoping you’ll come up through the page
Maybe I wish we had more photographs
Like of when we chased the rain at your mom & dad’s
Or of the morning light in your tired eyes
When you lean down to kiss me in the early thrift store lines
When I drive, I drown in the pink streaked skies
But it feels unsaturated and I ask myself why
I’ve got the smell of cigarettes...

Fine
link to this being sung at the end of poem*
Your place is empty, the paint’s faded thin
For a few weeks you’re twenty, then the bars’ll let you in
And are you alone? Have you made any friends?
I’m not all that busy. Sometimes I just pretend
I try to go out, bought tickets for a show
but at the last minute decided I don’t want to go alone
How much I love’s always so disproportionate
If you made me yours would it be so unfortunate?
How many me’s
Do I have to be
Til life decides I’m ready
For the you that...

Hidden Talents
My laundry needs to be moved over.
My guitars collect dust in the corner.
I haven’t been to the gym in weeks, and it’s 3am and I can’t sleep.
I’m busy thinking about how loving you is the only thing I’m good at and even then I feel like I’m getting it wrong.

Stubborn Plant
I want to see us grow
So I will continue to shine light on you
And make sure you’re hydrated
And I will tend to you
And be patient
Through the seasons
So I will continue to shine light on you
And make sure you’re hydrated
And I will tend to you
And be patient
Through the seasons

NON-FICTION PROSE

You’re So Nostalgic
Remember when I told you that you’re nostalgic & that’s why I like you?
It was back in May I think
We were stoned, laying up in your bed (you still lived at your old apartment)
I was greening out,
and staring at your Australia map tapestry on the ceiling above us.
I caught my breath, and I was laying on your
left shoulder,
and I said “I know why I like you so much. You’re so nostalgic.
I don’t know how else to say it.”
You said I was a poet, in the way I talked
& you...

i love you
I squeeze your hand 3 times
I don’t know
If you know
What that means
But I do it anyway
Incase you do
I don’t know
If you know
What that means
But I do it anyway
Incase you do

SELF POEM

Untitled
Does it feel weird to use my real first name?
Will my favorite color ever stay the same?
If I could make up my mind, would I have bad taste?
If I knew who I was, would you want me to change?
I can’t even remember what I look like.
In the next ten years I think ill die
do I believe in god? I still can’t decide
Im so self conscious when it’s just myself & I.

A Few Suggestions
I wanna be
Everything you need
I wanna say
All the right things
That could get you obsessing
Get you to come down
That’ll get you undressing when we’re just hanging out
I wanna stay
But it’s so much more
Take you out on a date
Hold your hand at the store
But I must be forgetting
To hold myself back
You told me ‘babe it’s upsetting, I’m a confused man’
I’m just out here suggesting,
My mom thinks we’d be cute
And if we’re to be confessing, I think I really love you
Everything you need
I wanna say
All the right things
That could get you obsessing
Get you to come down
That’ll get you undressing when we’re just hanging out
I wanna stay
But it’s so much more
Take you out on a date
Hold your hand at the store
But I must be forgetting
To hold myself back
You told me ‘babe it’s upsetting, I’m a confused man’
I’m just out here suggesting,
My mom thinks we’d be cute
And if we’re to be confessing, I think I really love you

driving under a bridge
You know when the rain is coming down so hard
Like it’s enough to signal a battleground?
And the water floods around your car
Where you seek shelter from the roads that have drowned?
There’s a cascade of gunshots on the roof,
Painted lines are washed away
You wonder if the windshield is bulletproof
Forgetting it’s just the rain
And then there’s a lull, a peaceful sway of the sea
Beneath an overpass you find
The loudest silence there could ever be
And the longest second passing you by
Like the world has...
Like it’s enough to signal a battleground?
And the water floods around your car
Where you seek shelter from the roads that have drowned?
There’s a cascade of gunshots on the roof,
Painted lines are washed away
You wonder if the windshield is bulletproof
Forgetting it’s just the rain
And then there’s a lull, a peaceful sway of the sea
Beneath an overpass you find
The loudest silence there could ever be
And the longest second passing you by
Like the world has...

Untitled
I blow through yellow lights
To feel in control
And I
talk out loud to practice what I’ll
Say when you get home
I’ve got cold hands, but my heart is warm
The sad part is you’re not here anymore
I might have a bottle of old
sleeping pills in the drawer
If i could
sleep to pass the time I won’t feel
sick & uncared for
I want my way, for goodness sake
Does it ever get better?
Even when our time goes fast
My days go on forever
To feel in control
And I
talk out loud to practice what I’ll
Say when you get home
I’ve got cold hands, but my heart is warm
The sad part is you’re not here anymore
I might have a bottle of old
sleeping pills in the drawer
If i could
sleep to pass the time I won’t feel
sick & uncared for
I want my way, for goodness sake
Does it ever get better?
Even when our time goes fast
My days go on forever

i didn’t think you’d show
I’m mad at you. I’m sorry.
I’m happy you’re here.
I’m scared.
I don’t care anymore. I care so much. I’m confused.
I love you
I’m happy you’re here.
I’m scared.
I don’t care anymore. I care so much. I’m confused.
I love you
