October 10, 2009 at 12:12PM first, take two pounds of Kielbasa sausage
and stuff it between your legs
then make an acute angle with your right leg
while maintaining a straight left, back straight
now, pull the buttocks backward and stab forward
in three-quarter slow motion
do it repeatedly, while slowly turning your head
looking around the room
raise hands and shout "woo" like
a cowboy riding a horse
September 9, 2009 at 11:23AM morning swears it'll be different
a silver pen is found, woman
with cell phone passes
a spectacular restaurant
closes for renovations, my phone
buzzes the owner's home
the food court sign says indian
white men eat in sorrow
between 11 am and 2 pm
employees self-start,
yes but slack is often
hauled by contractors
an eight-year-old fakes sickness
vomit seals the deal
"why do men have a penis?"
thrucrit May 18, 2009 at 9:58AM when it's over,
don't grovel, don't ask for
half the silverware or your share
of the bath towels.
leave the photos of Cuba
with the outlandish trunks
and the all-too-perfect sunsets.
when it's over,
don't remain friends,
the best man at her wedding
or beside uncles on a Christmas list.
don't trade memories for anger,
or her smile for tears.
when it's over
take your jean jacket,
the tools in storage,
all the secrets you can find,
put Stevie Ray on the stereo,
and
drive.
