metallic ride

is there anything beautiful about
subway train poles? to touch
i wear gloves in the summer, i am sick.
you wear gloves in the winter, too. but you are just cold.
hold on, you may experience abrupt stops

tell me what you think about
miracles,
has one ever happened to you or someone you know?
please watch your step.

how much more is there to learn about
random etiquette
behavioral norms
standard of being
regular existence
welcome to : status quo
what does that even mean?
please stand clear of the closing doors.

all we do is talk about
four things over and over and over again
because somehow that's all we ever want to discuss
it is enough
what is ever enough?
it is enough 
to talk back and forth and back and forth and back and forth
it is called feedback
it is called i got your back
it is called you never called me back
never expect anything back 
we are moving and we cant go back 
our next stop is

sapling kipling knapsack

i am going to sleep to have nice dreams.
good luck! 
thank you. i love you,

it 
feels so perfect.
it 
truly moved me
you 
have to see it.

now how are you?
my phone is inaccessible
i would have called to tell you that
you remind me of someone great.

we better not have school tomorrow
wont it feel perfect to
wake up to a nice breakfast,
coffee and a cigarette,
snowflakes
and almost everything at once feels
perfect.

the keys to fabric interior

stare at snowfall
look, light lessens into an evening of
whatever you make it --

clean out all the gum wrappers and frozen water bottles
from the floor of your car, finally
our movie ticket stubs and those forgotten chapsticks 
         were rolling around in the backseat 
[we]  were rolling around in the backseat.

purple yoga mat, pastel blue rain coat
huge bottle of seltzer, navy nail polish
car is clean of contents and
our table of contents reads
fresh breath, 
hydration, 
entertainment,
company,
relax, rain falls, fizzle of passion, painted in a soft embrace
lips lock, hands lock, eyes lock
could    this    be       love lock?
but it's getting late so you open the door to let me out and
the 
car 
locks.

spreakly

when i speak
i want to spit
s p a r k l e s
into your eyes

and i don't need a reason why
but i'll tell you it's because ever since we met
i have known you were special
and i only spit sparkles into special peoples eyes
and i don't need a reason why
but i'll tell you it's because knowing you is like putting purple, symmetry, the rain, cursive, long eyelashes and puddle stomping in a room with big windows and watching them all cuddle.

i wake up this morning and i think to myself,
'I am ready.'
The Now is just a series of hallway passings.
En route i see the same
i take a different
i see the same
but feel different.
The Now is only a fraction of connection
a snip-it of interaction &
a glimpse of reaction
we sense it
some avoid it
some revel in it
but we all sense it.
The Now is just a series of hallway passings.
i wake up this morning and i think to myself,
'Are you ready?'

but only when

i'll hide in the corner of the sky
so you wouldn't even see me if you squinted extra hard
and furrowed your brows
and shut the world out with a visor made from 
your little hands cupped over your little face
your same hands that knew me and my hands
our hands were almost as good of friends as we were --
but when you looked up at the corner of the sky, if you did actually see me,
you could mistake me for a star.
will you, please, mistake me for a star?
i don't want to be found, just admired from afar 
and wished upon
i imagine it would feel brilliant
your eyes ablaze     &
you are mesmerized by a corner of the sky
i am hidden in;
you ask if that's going to change
i say yes,  when morning comes.

meltinyermouth

once i took a green m&m
and pretended it was wearing white stilettos
it looked sexy,,,
and then i ate it.
in human life, m&m's don't have chins
or feet to wear stilettos on either, but
television tactfully taints the truth, so
we either want to be like them 
or eat them.

2009er

i dare it to be 2009,
but do you know just how to party?
to party
let's party
who is having a party
party hard, but
we partied softly, does that mean
we didn't party at all?
party unexpectedly
you only really enjoy 
the unplanned part of planned parties
play with p's
pajama party
pants party
no pants party
there's a party in your pants?
and i'm invited?
how original
i dare you to graduate.

whatever's eve

the ambiguous "they"
say you never forget your firsts
not only, but also 
you always remember your bests
make monday my holiday
treat tuesday like a memory
but never wait for wednesday 
unless it's only because it's a wednesday: the eve of a potential holiday.
countdown to whatever's eve and celebrate days as if they were holi-days
10 seconds left to feel
fab.you.lust
