the totality struck
me. i gotta case of rockstar
dropped myself in a coin slot
for play

ii cokes
i bought two cokes one for
me one for you. some lady came in and barked do you have this?
do you have that? no we do not
people can be so demanding
a kid in the backseat of a car hung out his head along
with the dog in his arms both of them
smiling panting happy to be alive
some pop song driven twisted through the lot
drinking malt liquor on a saturday
afternoon. i’m sure thankful
it’s not me
14 14 14
fourteen was pushing the body
not yet filled in
around
bumping into stuff and learning
this way who you
could or could not
cross
fourteen was open eyes
still not afraid of nothin
fictions
what really happened
memory clouds it
feelings color it thoughts about it
change it
what it really was what
you guess it was
just don’t go thinking
pretending you know
the facts are closer but alone
they are meaningless
that’s why it’s fun to write
fiction
time like a fossil
the cold mornings
wool hats and long johns the
nights beneath layers
cocooned
the bite in the air the
freezing and thawing. a silence
summer would never allow
will winter be up
for extinction?
time
like a fossil
burns fast
paper.back
you say you don’t got nothing to do
i don’t understand
read a book bottle
the boredom
forever
super.atomic
yes this was the being yes
this was the cellular
remembering
you hoped i would forget i hoped
i would forget
the pain
go into it, my darling
go in!
the moon is full becoming
back to us like
before
electrons
