I’m Afraid My Car is Going to Break Down
Weeble, wobbly;
I get her checked often too.
For now, bite my lip.

Pat Robertson Makes Me Want to Die
Politics, sad men,
arrogant and short-sighted.
Religion is worse.

In the Country
At night, in the country, I can hear the trees but I can’t see them. I hear their leaves rustle beneath them, within them, on sidewalks and porches and under my feet. I hear their arms scratching itches on the houses they neighbor. I can hear them creaking and cracking their backs, stretching and talking to each other. There is a community of trees and they communicate while we’re asleep, while everything else is quiet. Their prose is indistinguishable to us from noise, but at night, when its too dark to see them all, they’re together in a beautiful, harmonious way. Their conversation is harmony. At night, they are a symphony.

The Mall, High Blood Pressure, The Cost of a Quiet Mind
Twenty-three years old;
I don’t need a Macy’s card.
Let me look in peace.I, like most of us
run faster than everyone.
My brain, not my legs.Doctor cautions me.
Blood pressure is too, too high
Thanks, generationSometimes I think I,
think too much, too. Working hard,
to stop working hard.In my head, coffee
gets me up, so I can down.
Backwards, sip that cup.I wish I wished more
for things that make me happy,
rather, I wish calm.When do you pay less
attention to stupid folk,
realizing own?
