Reprieve

Thank God we forget
most times; if we remembered
we'd fray to pieces.

Sneakers

Quotidian socks,
sneakers. I miss feeling like
feet are sweatshirt-hugged.

Fupa

Discouraging to
sit at work and see lameness
bunching under shirt.

Regret

In dreams, I still mourn
your golden arms around me.
I wake up, surprised.

Jilted

Jilted for plain girl.
Devotion - blue, exquisite,
almost sexual.

Two-Time Phony

Make-believe discord:
lawyer's way. Make-believe work?
Capitalist way.

One Day

I'll admit, one day,
it's too late to find it. But,
today's not that day.

Abyss

Cast me to abyss,
forsaking God, that I may
claw out, hope stillborn.

One Month

Can condemned man fade
in gallow's shadow one month,
tasting only doom?

Sonic's All-Day Happy Hour

Ignominious
Frito-pie? No thanks. Cherry
limeade. Dignity.

Osmosis

If I could osmose
I'd absorb books, sleep, ash, and
your insouciance.

Dream

At the end of the world, he rose to fight by my side, like a valkyrie. So glad was I to embrace my dead lover, I did not mind the monsters and apocalypse raining around me.

Sleepless

I loiter, instead
of going to bed, hoping
I'll salvage today.

Pantyhose

Society hates
women, or loves sweaty butt.
Proof is pantyhose.

Chrysalis

Is it psychotic
to long for transformation,
like Buffalo Bill?

Verboten

That I'll never wade
in Trevi Fountain makes me
want to jump in more.

Pimple

Emerging pimple:
Why can't I leave you alone?
I know you'll scar me.
