11.02 i'm looking for a second-hand unicycle on facebook marketplace.
itâs october country - gil scott herron season - & i borrow
from the library and promise to bring return on halloween.
Your Flag Decall Wonât Get You Into Heaven &
go a whole week without texting love because it was
there cradling me in the nook of his arm,
full of crab cakes, done the right way.
old bay, lump of crab, -
is it hermes he wears?
- mayonnaise, all seared on an un-buttered skillet:
he fills my kitchen well.
we dress as luke & lorelai to the party & i fill a coffee mug named
"Give me coffee and tell me I'm pretty" with two protein shakes,
to make up for forgotten meals.
these friends do acro and smack each other's ass;
smell of
akigalawood, bergamot,
carrot seeds, cardamom,
lavender, leather,
musk, orris,
and sandalwood.
(this smell reminds me of vintage colorado, the one around
the planting a 50-something-year-old first kiss
on my middle school lips,
but it smells comfortable to me now.)
Natalie played sexy spaghetti in a local production
& I feel the urge to practice juggling again.
10.14 goodbye to the ferris wheel. i experiment with lipstains & avoid medical bills. we are big jacketed and carpuscular.
10.13 the year of (!). my godson runs rampant and chews on my leg. I am not OSHA compliant and neither is the bell tower i climb
i get paid to climb the bell tower and eat subway while outside drunk people dance.
christmas with the in-laws means a war in which i can win without deception with the perfect twice baked potato.
well underway, the entrance of moo dheng, pesto, & little caboose into my life. my insides leak outwards. i know the joke man by name. on my way to get the weekly 12 dollar bundle of flowers he tells me the real punchline is the time his wife punched him in the face.
coming on a year of the birth of the elipses. my existential kink. of learning not everyoneâs dad has a car flask.
all my friendsâ christmas presents live paper-bagged in my roomâs corner, and (when i remember to take the recycling out) the whole apartment smells of vetiver and sandalwood.
09.21 we confused love and pity. i unclogged the sink with a snake drank and that shit smelt mildewy.
i will one day be grampused with shit from the shower drain.
it will spurt up at me in opposite of the concaving of a bullet riddled jello cake.
sent my charlotte bananagrams & thought about painting my nails. watched a season of girls instead.
09.09 the metal arm wrest transfers a chatterbuzz into my bottom molarâs jaw
09.07 dreamt about zombies again. strayed to find blueberries and got terribly lost. found, i had a feeling that iâd be able to be useful to them if i could figure out how
06.03 lately, i havenât had to make anything
up. six trash bagged woven crows hanging
from power lines like laundry.

afterlife of the bffls
- & we drank from the same wine glass. we blessed it together.
- i know a few of the dead. i have placed my tongue in the mouth of a woman
- with an apologetic voice. i am neutral to her
- mouth volcanic plume, coffee liqueur, calbuco
- volcano, wide xico crater, 1 kilometer, that
- perfectly fits my mouth. i eat it, hallmark
- plot as fuck. map. glossy sleeve. no pop rocks.
- later, there will be a talk, but for now i feel her
- looking at me while Iâm looking
- at the fireworks & later, later there will be a talk,
- but for now i kiss her & taste the espresso martini i just bought us
- & know iâll feel like a vixen for the rest of my life.
