'Rowboat Over the Atlantic'
I have become
my own airbags, admitting
I'm more willing to break
than be broken. These words are
not mine
anymore, but they are a revenge
lay. And I used to sit
outside, slumped over feeling
boxed or stigmata over the
soil. Steps line a side, which is
a jar. Rain and saliva become
the next tabloids.
'Love Poem Mad-Lib'
I'm awake. I'm
awake and there are
snakes. Snakes
and a
sleepwalker. I'm
not the only person
who's gained weight
since high school. The
whooping was
a signal to the
birds: soon
they'll all hear
us. And then
they'll know: we'll
be leading class riots
in the high museums.
