Jonathan's Snake

at scout camp
my friend Jonathan caught a snake
everyone crowded around to touch it
I pushed my arm in and squoze

So Many People

there's so many people in the world
and I only care about a few
I just look at the rest
they're funny
and nauseating
and beautiful

Sitting

I'm sitting here alone
on a massage chair
I bought Sarah for Christmas
she cried because I spent too much

I'm reading Bukowski
and checking Facebook
and playing a golf game
I just bought in the app store

Golfing by Myself

I used to make fun of my dad
because he took golf so seriously

then I started playing with my boss
who plays even more serious
so I started making fun of my dad
for not taking it serious enough

now I play by myself

The Dork

I'd say my moment of greatest glory
was when the hottest girl in 9th grade
had her friend come up to me
and say she liked me

that was the year
I warmed the bench
for the basketball team
and programmed my TI-82 calculator
to do my homework

but she never really followed up
not because she's stuck up
she just discovered what a dork I am

I Went Golfing

I'm so unstable
I mean, I took second in poker last night
and I was pissed because it was 2 in the morning
and it was going to throw my
schedule off the next day

I have meditation at 11
it's supposed to rain at 3
I have this expensive golf pass
and every day I can't use it
it just eats at me
not to mention a ton of work to do

'$%@*#^! '

(One of these days
someone is going to catch me screaming like that)

my poetry is so self-deprecating
plus it's both a home movie and boring
