Review and remediation
I closed the thesis
I’d been peer reviewing
stood and stretched
and got a cup of
coffee before I
sat down to
meatier work
I put on reading
glasses
The type with the
blue filter coating
so I wouldn’t get
a headache from
complicated
reading
They make me look like
a sexy librarian
when I put my hair in a bun
But my hair is down as
I analyze the work I
failed to analyze
correctly,
and my
entire exigence

The Art Of The Deal V (Hedge Fund Accounts)
EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK
Belman Estates
Artesia turned around in Michael’s arms.
“How about that talk?”
Both walked over to the couch.
“Sit.”
“After you, since I will be the one listening.”
Artesia sat followed by Michael.
“I would like you to drop this silly accusation against Tristano.”
“You...”
Artesia held her hand up.
“You’re listening remember.”
“As you were saying.”

Frogger
The white work van
passed so close
its wind picked
my hair from my shoulders
my wild eyes
sought you out
on the other side
of 10 rush-hour lanes
of interstate highway
my palms were slimy
from sweat washing
off my hand cream
and my stomach
creaked
I gasped,
but I didn’t step back
when the next car
blared its horn
loud enough to
echo in my ears
instead I stepped
forward

Mishka
She wears her sexuality fluid
shifting
shattering
she's the kind of woman
everyone looks at
even they can't define why
her pheromones
maintaining their own
gravitational pull
She's the kind of woman
other people would describe
as fearless
which is really just code
for scared of love
every relationship tipped
towards what she can get
rather than what she can give
It's amazing how her confidence
demands completely adoration
that...

Famous Blue Raincoat Interpretation
Its early in the morning and I'm sitting here wide awake
Jane's sound asleep and I can't help but think of you, my friend
Out there trying to lose yourself
Lose the pain that you are burdened with
This addiction that eats at your soul
Jane came over and she was wearing your shirt
She took it to remember you
She told me that you were trying to get clean
Were you able to beat your demons?
You had aged so much the last time I saw you
The drugs seemed to ravage your body
Your blue coat that you cherished ...

unwritten letter
I want to know, how the fuck do you have this hold over me? Even when I build walls, and be good, and fall in love with someone else, why are you still there, like the last unsmoked cigarette in the pack, I tell myself will be my last, never mind that I quit smoking in 2015.
I sure as hell don't keep you around as back up. That would be like expecting paracetamol to numb the pain of a broken femur, when not even morphine will do.
But you are like a drug. You're my drug. You always have been. And unlike alcohol or cigarettes, I haven't been able to kick the habit that...

secrets to be guilty of
I want to call you
even though we only talked
yesterday
But I don't want to say
what's on my mind
I don't want to find
where your judgement limit begins
because once I start spilling secrets
I don't know where they'll end
And all I can think about
between my self-created drama
is how your husband
looked me up
to get the dirt on you
so many years ago
a few months
before he left you
and made me promise
to keep our conversations
a secret
And I did
because I...

True Justice (Stony Island)
The young boy of ten was in the hospital bathroom having a hard time shitting
While his sister was in vaginal pain experiencing the dark side of female living,
“Both coming home from elementary school was kidnapped and raped
Left in an alley for dead as the sick bastards made their escape,
“The mayor tried to keep it on the low to prevent a riot
A call from DC stated this is an election year-keep the incident quiet,
“When the citizens found out, this was another blow to the face
That illegals committed the crime and the government tried...
