I don't care how God-damn smart
these guys are: I'm bored.

she tries to get things
out of men
that she can't get
because she's not

Just Because
Just because
people love your mind,
doesn't mean they
have to have
your body,
too.

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'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.
