the war hall

what kind of vicious?
i hit you with a flower
bruises flourish there

The lights have come along

"My husband thought he
didn't do it [of Karr's guilt],
but I was hopeful."

Be who you are and say what you feel, quoth

Doctor Seuss, 'cause those
who mind don't matter and those
who matter don't mind.

poor little pluto
the only planet to have

ode to muncie (you weren't all bad)

black peppered sweet corn
a pad of vegan butter
a pint at the peach

i've got all this harvard lsd

slowly the pavement
reveals itself to be good
late not just early

for petra, who has endured abandonment in muncie, in

chasing the night through
i know what it means to be
hopelessly alone

Snakes on a Plane

How could we have missed
the biggest haiku craze since
m-fing Issa

personal

you: toaster, knife, fork
me: waffles, grade B syrup
let's make this happen

found (and reorganized)

light cigarettes with
candles and your sailors won't
return from the sea

paris, you burn me

my mind just blew up.

silver slivers flash
off waves swelling on the tree

chocolate legs, arms;
vanilla shoulders to thighs;
and strawberry face.

Independent? Please
Joe, be a good Democrat
and lose fair and square.

Wet Paint in the Kitchen

non-functional house?
hmm-- jalapeno poppers
at the gas station!

nine sushi bites are
only five forty five, not
bad for dinner out!

had to change clothes first
because spilled red paint on your
shorts when you're a girl?

i'd either have been
a real murdertown member
or a late bloomer...

hands force new look at
nail polish remover-- these
need some paint thinner.

RIP David Gemmell

what a way to go
the heroic chronicler
felled in the harness

dude it's so hot

pop one more button
another chance to be cool
watch me get busy

welcome to the occupation

positive feedback
but not the good kind- more like
death leading to death
