huge tonsils!
litter bright color spots,
and smile.

home today)

Dear World,
the opposite of you!
no thanks anymore!
i've lost the taste for you!
why so many headbands?
why so much dust?

April, 2003
he likes crossed eyes; heroin.
gulp,
altruism.
be gentle, pliable, housebroken.
disrobe and dole out,
linear ties
slender thighs
fluid eyes
gulp,
an ocean in my belly,
a storm in my side,
white lies
white lies
white lies.
.
where are you, anyway?
hammered-sloshed-bleeding-broken?
famous-frothy-fake-fucked?
i love you like suede.
back-forth-rough-gentle
stretching.
a love like, war?
meant to be insatiable
painful
wrought with anguish
and comfort
masochism,
beauty.
I love you like Chagall
and 3am on uppers.
