A Squirrell on Waterskiis
In my next life, I want to be a squirrell on waterskis I want to wear a little red helmet when I work and get paid in peanuts I will hold my tail up high when I skate over the water And bask in the adoration of a thousand 1st graders who say that I am the coolest thing they've ever seen and who beg to pet me and who want…

Pacing the floor
as my feet heat up the carpet I can't help but think: There must be more options! more than merely a "this" or a "that" (fork in the road) why do we need to think of only going to the right or to the left? why can't there be more choices? after all, people think of unusual solutions to problems all the time! perhaps this…

Just let me live my own life!
Just let me live my life! I don't try to interfere with yours Why do you try to mess mine up? Really! Why? I have never tried to break up your home why do you try to break mine up? For what purpose?

I will wait for you -Poem
I will wait for you While the worst of friend’s superglue the dead leaves back on the noon November trees The heavy holding body architects do pull ups on the half hanging moon Bringing it down for the teenage Latino skateboarders to use as a half pipe The mother’s milk their spirits for their husbands, children, strangers…

Glow
Even when you are not here you are I know If you find that you must go for certain or forever or completely I will know the flame gone from me is the absence of your presence because you always are and from far away if you left I would know not from weeping but from the extinguished whimper inside

Tuesday morning
my tears don't have their own billboard they are only mine I only came out and spoke because I had company that needed words without it, it's completely possible to slip back into silence for me, it's so easy to be quiet I can sit in the corner reading or sit at my piano without speaking it's actually easier for me to let…

culling
She's a horrible smattering, a reserve explosion She'll take the paint down with her, she is acid and loathing She is sharps in a mitten, a low pressure system She is everything she'd never be and thinks it's amazing Mama's muffled in the headstorm, millions and billions Of opportunities lost to show she'd be willing, but…
