styrofoam shock to the teeth

in fall the dog in the liquor store delivered my credit card in her mouth
I hope I always remember little Molly

I am oily and dizzy 

like a long drive home
after the state fair at night

but just yesterday I had a sandwich in my manicured hands 

sturdy on the rocks by the river 
drunk people floating by waving hello

I know newspapers, liquor make me sick
but what would I do besides learn and drink?

to look for things in faraway places
whether they are lost or not is what I want to do

the rhythm of my breathing
mixed with the creases of the road under the tires
bump sniff bump sniff

smash what I was working on to pieces I breathe all the dust in
I like getting and getting rid of, not having 

sorry L.A. but what better feeling than seasons


weak wet tomatoes, white bread in a broken bag 

and I have a long walk home 

boys are all I think about

hair thighs and belly button
water earth and fire

there is no such thing as boredom


yesterday safe, tonight spinning
a peaceful feeling while I puke
being sick is part of everything
