thelastisalwayscatchingup

don't listen to her
no matter how much she says
she loves you like him

nowheretoflybuthere

when you need a friend
there's only love birds chirping
no single sparrow

lookwhoscryingnow

look who's knocking now
ready to twist this healing
forgetful heartache

but i forget you
and you keep knocking, pounding
it's only pretend

love is in the cracks
it's all you begin seeing
when you don't have it

strings and your laughing
will unlock the case my heart
stays safely inside

idontloveyouanymore

why is it that when
you don't want him, he wants you
rehashing memories

okstupid

log on. pick a man.
click on his face. much closer --
to losing your mind.

click on that fake smile.
learn nothing about the man.
height. weight. job. degree. 

answer those questions.
go on some dates, fuck a bit. 
never get a call. 

text - wait. wait - enough.
click on that delete button.
save yourself the pain.

track bodies buildings counties

looking through passengers tired

leaning against dirty walls

Heels. Stabbing. Trapesing.
Across the apartment roof.
3 AM anvils.

A coordinate mapped

You're young and can stand.
Move out of the way, don't crowd.
Cough, sneeze, fart, discount.

Wakingupmyheart

Sometimes my heart sings
A chorus highlighting night
Strings plucked from a dream

Freshnsleazybitch

Bitch, move your cart now
Avocado rain coming
At your face unless…

Honkifyerhorny

Standing at corner
Eating my ice cream
Then you came along

You'retakiungthebustoo

The look on her face
Crumpled like soggy dishtowel
Forgot she smells too

Nobibnolove

Time to change the sheets
Told you, don’t eat that in bed
But where’s the fun, love?

Fiveforfivedollars

As I drive and eat
This hotdog with chili cheese
Homer would be proud  

Canyoubreakaten?

Laundry pile grows out
Like clothes vomit on the floor
Look out Launderland

Burgerfantasticyum

Car bound cheeseburger
Waiting for me after work
Let me set you free
