May continues (because that's what it does): 2005
by Cristy M.1
Somewhere between
the apples and
oranges he
fell in love with a
fruit salad
and bought it.
***
2
Perhaps this honesty
needs to get
tossed like moldy cheese.
***
3
The two of us wear
hats and that's just
flipping fantastic
considering our dorky
laughs.
***
4
Satisfaction is only a
matter of speaking
in ooos and ahhs.
***
5
A single suitcase
races round the
flat escalator-thing,
but I'm hard-drinking
in the lounge.
***
6
formula: ink pens + cross-
word + angry poem + jazz=
catharsis (happy squared + 1)
***
7
Chuck says, "Don't
call me 'Chuck,'"
but I do.
***
8
To be flippant for
flippant's sake, like
flicking fireflies
in a mason jar.
***
9
Tone is an asshole
but he gets laid
by the sweetest little
girls.
***
10
Sometime the girls
go out in droves
and the boys stay
in boxes.
***
11
Housewarming: She curls
up on a barren beige kitchen
counter and they say,
"You really must've been
a cat. Who even does that?"
***
12
Overheard: "Let me get a
cigarette, Greg, my
girlfriend's a Nazi."
***
13
How do I know he's
a clown?
"Yellow marker face is
painted on brown skin
with ptchoo-ptchoo hair,
and a name tag says,
'I am a clown.'"
***
14
Drive like you mean it.
***
15
Two years past
London rains overcast
heavy in archives
of my mind.
***
16
Perhaps. Concussions
are symptoms of
boredom.
***
17
Let's creole our
pidgin with a consensus
so we can be a
bit off, but still
on the radar.
***
18
Phonetically, you
would make a decent pet.
***
19
It's not entirely
impossible to sun bathe
on the drive to
grandma's house.
***
20
Don't discover my lines
are straight, it
would ruin this manifesto.
***
21
No book of poets is
a far too-small collection
to shelve.
***
22
Sleepless or not, I
am existence in
slumber.
***
23
Had I a hat, I
could've hidden complete
under cover of funny
faces midst all
other conversation.
***
24
I'll butcher slabs of
dictionary defs
if in doing so...
you learn something
about the significance
of names.
