i like vodka.
it's alright
w/ a leftover
espresso
and shot of
soymilk &
soy creamer
it all goes
down easy
as a rainy
afternoon
in seattle,
in between
time, winter. |

dark before
dinner & if
you've got
dinner, all
the better.
there's lots
out there
trying to get
by on rocks
& sunshine
who've never
heard of
poetry or
websites
and so much
the better.
theirs gods
are older &
get what they
ask for.
|

the price
we pay is
numbing
ourselves
for a respite,
easy moment's
satisfaction
as the bus
lurches to
a halt in
the rain
and another
one gets on. |

this whole bus
is dead and
some? most? all?
don't even
know it. i
carry death
in my pocket,
a hypochondriac,
the clues all
make sense
except for the
moment. oh
well, death's
just a word
we use for
the next
chapter in
a closed
book on a
high shelf
written in
a language
none who
are left can
understand. |

Death, i give
myself an
enema and
laugh. Death,
it's the ones
you don't own
who're scared.
Death, you
have about
as much use
for a poem
as a starving
man. Death,
when will you
take yourself?
Death, I once
held a grape
in my mouth
for over an
hour--when
have you shown
you can wait? |

$2 beers all sold out, a crowded
back room, boom boom boom |

adria and sarah on the street,
jaywalkers watching for heat |
