in need of nutrients
having embarked cold and thirsty upon the land
with a curious beating heart she
dislodged her diary and misted its pages
with secret emotions sketching
rough thoughts and plans
then. full of rebellion
dashed them

we got off the sleater-kinney avenue
exit my friend joking would you
sleep with a riot girl?
if i could sleep with a concept i probably would
does that sound desperate?
outside a veteran on an insult parade
badgered a dope fiend using a wheelchair
ready to kill rock stars

excerpt #18 from my new novel, Ame and the Tangy Energetic, available on Amazon.com now! (sorry my cats purr in the background)
let us walk
religion was boy or girl and binary
this way or that. nothing in between
i was tomboy. i had a spirit
they wanted to catch it in butterfly nets
jar and jam
you were hard and wonderful
not like other girls
let’s go get lost together
and we did
kiss the smoking girl
you think faster than you write and can your memory keep (you) up, when the days fall off like calendar paper painted numerics in a spotted corner where a pay phone once connected the disconnected? relegate your dreams to a political sideshow. the overthrow of nickels by dimes and half dollars in a strip club awaits. she leaves you drunk and singing. your oldsmobile won’t start up in the cold. you don’t care. shove your hands in your overcoat and walk off. watch your breath. smells like midwest. something different the day has for you. bread factory. maybe a motel room. cartoons. a new friend as tore up as you are. laughing against a socieconomic slider. anything but a tow truck and another bill to sign. buy a pint of whisky. postpone the inevitable. kiss the smoking girl.
