The Pill Versus The Springhill Mine Disaster
When you take your pill
it’s like a mine disaster.
I think of all the people
lost inside of you.

Kafka's Hat
With the rain falling
surgically against the roof,
I ate a dish of ice cream
that looked like Kafka's hat.

I didn't know the full dimensions of forever, but I knew it was longer than waiting for Christmas to come.

I'll affect you slowly
I'll affect you slowly
as if you were having a picnic in a dream.
There will be no ants.
It won't rain.

Surprise
I lift the toliet seat
as if it were the nest of a bird
and I see cat tracks
all around the edge of the bowl.

Boo, Forever
Spinning like a ghost
on the bottom of a
top,
I'm haunted by all
the space that I
will live without
you.

All Girls Should Have a Poem
For Valerie
All girls should have a poem
written for them even if
we have to turn this God-damn world
upside down to do it.

Milk For The Duck
ZAP!
unlaid / 20 days
my sexual image
isn't worth a shit.
If I were dead
I couldn't attract
a female fly.

Everybody wants to go to bed
with everybody else, they're
lined up for blocks, so I'll
go to bed with you. They won't
miss us.
