How do you ask someone who works at
a coffee shop if they'd like to grab some
coffee?
uncle bens
old friends I've never met
a kiss is just a kiss - butterfinger itis
visit to Commercialist Mecca
curves of legs and ears beneath jeans
and hair moses is dead
moses is playing basketball
uncle ben on acid purple
s yph il iti c rice floating
good things come to those
who wait by any means
necessary
the pink panther whispers lies
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania gives
birth to old men and dead children
what's wrong with Mah Jhong?
I got to get
out of this city
I'm going
crazy
talk about sex parties and live
porn
and beautiful women
masturbation is like chess
I promised myself I wouldn't cry
long brown hair cascading in sine waves
down the sea of your shoulders
and just caressing tight black jeans
black leather jacket and too young
in blue sweater and cargo pants
and signing
chess is a spectator sport
two strangers sit down across
from me. speaking quietly but
I can hear them
smile shyly, "Hi" and look away
don't maintain eye contact for too
long -
old man in a duster eats a
peach with relish
pastries and flying sharks
wax on the end of my pen
watch the candle burn
does he know what strophe
means?
