This town wears me out.
One phone call, two hundred bucks.
Boston here I come!

hi it's caitlin

some advice hits walls
of stubborn ears and shut eyes
that like to be blind.

buying used.

quarter paperback
of camus. first ten pages
fall out once open.

cat's away.

one day! one day! all
i asked was for one day off,
and you start a war?!

They say green. It feels
more purple with a crest like a
man o' war - air filled.

for one of you (#4)

my stomach still turns,
but in a very good way,
when i think of you

there is so much love
that i'm not sure what to do-
cut my stomach out?

for one of you (#3)

there's something creepy
i can't put my finger on
you might need a friend

sometimes we don't see
the things that are going on
right inside of us

for one of you (#2)

whatever we had
is such a strange memory
i can't remember

and now i don't know
where we could possibly stand-
maybe on a crack

we hope there is not
another earthquake to shake
our foundation

for one of you (#1)

i am over here
thinking of you and hoping
that you are okay

and missing your hugs-
thinking about the niceness
of being with you

remembering times
we made people sick because
we love each other

Fat people should stop
losing weight. I can't find things
that fit at thrift stores.

I purposely stepped
in watermelon gum to
counter the dog shit.

Planning Day

The polka dots of
my bikini top show through
my white collared shirt.

Heart in head remix

it shouldn't surprise
me that after these three days
it's my head that hurts.

recognition

whenever i say
"oh, for pete's sake," i mean sir
peter john gardner.

Six a.m. - smiling
Eight p.m. - beaming, blushing
One a.m. - happy

false starts.

got all the answers
that i already knew but
didn't want to hear.

afterglow.

huge wads of cash spent!
it's consumer orgasmic!
what a load off, huh?

hey, at least the voices stopped

I went to the hill
today to martyr myself
but the damn rope broke

1,000 views!

We can now say that
we've been reflections on
a thousand eyeballs.

Maybe I'm Afraid

maybe i'm a man,
maybe i'm a lonely man;
help me understand.
