after Ginuwine’s “So Anxious”



                    the last time you were stalling, standing in the stairwell
                 at nine o’clock i lifted bubbles out of the bath,
rubbed your back with a morning fervor.
                the last time you wished for me we just kept talking
                                      and i kept withholding.
   it hit me anxious and you know the dirty ways
                                            of our talk, our messages get lost as soon
            as they leave the courier.
                                                  i love the way of where you been
               i love paging you to find you’re already written
                             inside my brain and see we’ve got this connection
                                         like our synapses and hands sleep together and
                                                               practice dance routines.
 this is something that my expression can’t show:
             I’ve apologized for my sexaholicism and we can just
                        keep talking instead of reminiscing you know
                                            it’s better for me.

i kept anxious i kept dirty i kept hoping
                    you’d hurry and quit these candlelight words
                                    bumping and grinding me down.
                                               girl you said my expression you thinkin
                                                   the same baby we touch the know how
                                                        you were morning I was sleep
                                                   we let the home alone
                                               and hit the bubbles in a hurry.


Laundry

you were a present,
        a birthday gift: new outfit
and then you were clothing.
     Now, you are laundry
and I will keep cleaning you
in hopes that maybe you won't
    be just another in a Goodwill
donation trashbag.

10 WORD POEMS: Waterlterra #2, Kevin

don't give your muffins to nomads, pearls before swine
dimpled dumbasses are recepticles for art.  They
are the ones who call leopards kitties and keep ancient
aquatic life in an under sized bowl and call it "Samantha J."
Ignorance ricochets and dulls the skyline for those who used to enjoy it.
A symbol is special for its meaning, not because of how 'pretty' it is.
It I could, I would wrangle up the myriad of ignorant mind
and ferry them to old world Australia.

10 WORD POEMS: Waterlterra #1

it was a lilac
                but chilly confused it
a gasp,     a hope plundered
       ficus' insomnia, blown, tilt now
this intimate carnage

----

children gasp:
         ficus blown.  Tilt now.
Lilac in chilly insomnia.
        Plundered hope by confused,
intimate carnage.

----
it was a chilly carnage as we
watched the children confused, hacking
the lilac away.  We pray to ficus
and insomnia w/ the same breath.
We hope the gods will tilt towards us
and plunder our gasps from our guts.
intimacy is a blown glass we pass around,
                     and fondle.

video vixens



they've got the finest flanks,
the most unique most cheekbone exotic
European breeds, and they place advertisements in front
because yes, this is the way you should go, this is the way
you should dress, and show yourself, and wobble
yourself silly after you scream your ass in every language
all across rack city -
look over your shoulder short hair you should go
natural and leave the faux everything at home.
Drake says you are wintertime cold and Cole
says you are summertime fine and you hope these measures
can achieve that longest distance but they can't.
get through frontin; we should do somethin
about those weepy weekends after the nights on all those
towns, you weighed them heavy, the most unique
dress and the most wobbly after a few shots,
don't let them know you're a lightweight.
in every language you are.
you are in every language.
