Eek baby eek
Violet velvet heel
Eek baby eek
Snap your fingers like a rubber band
Crack your knuckles like you’re on a chain gang
Eek baby eek
Drop your brief case
Tell me a story
Loosen your tie
Straighten your nose
Lovely winter
Eek baby eek
Take a toot from the snoot
The emancipator shoehorn
I’m tired
Iron
I’m lonely
Brass
Dance like you stubbed your toe
Call up your god
Tell him you don’t exist

the motion of bodies
If there are two unknown bodies, neither the attracted nor the attracting body impresses a whole force, and generates a whole velocity proportional to the time given the time.
A short time to describe among themselves; the motion of bodies in resisting mediums.
If the bodies meet with contrary motions there will be an opposite reaction.
If both [...]

Ode to Myrtle
O marvelous Myrtle I burble your name
it gurgles and warbles and bubbles so gamely
gargling growling and grumbling amazing
rolling around all the vowels that abound
in the sonorous sound of your wonderful name.
O mystical magical myrtlous Myrtle
I’d beg or I’d borrow or furtively furgle
or burgle the gollup to wallop the moon
glug myrtleglug like a bug or a [...]
Indiana
Driving through Indiana is like driving on a treadmill. You get nowhere, and after a while you start to zone and forget what normal walking is like, so you get off and feel like some kind of awkwardly shaped waterfowl gliding around the room until you almost hit a concrete barrier or the flashing lights [...]
Read MoreThe world ends thirteen times consecutively
one heart thirty six and a half years away from scheduled retirement takes early leave
two i’m sorry we can’t see each other anymore
three the sun unexpectedly explodes
four concentrated and constant contamination reduces arable water to flammable sludge
and leaves the summer breeze with the consistency of sandpaper choking the leather
lunged [...]
The Grim Reaper Is Lazier Than I Am

So inept, so unpunctual and mixed up.
He came too early, say lovers

and have not been secretly pondering
where he has been these last humorless years.
Stovepipes, perhaps, or flash photography;
fresh paint or icy slush streaked with exhaust;
the occasional transcendent moment or a [...]
