Push it Down

The ordering of my life that is. A two year absence in the physical world is so much more...physical.

Dates on a page, spaced apart by inches, Inches that convey so little. Inches as a measure of time. How many of these incomplete sentences will it take to cover the span of my life?

Here day, grey day and the window merely frames it.

I Didn't Say It First

but, there is no new thing under the sun

also i have been writing country music
(more accurately, lyrics and melodies)
about honky tonk vampires, shotgun weddings,
and jumping off bridges. i like them.

Plato's Forms

when i was a child
and we visited my grandmother
in the summer
it thunderstormed everytime.
i and my cousins slept
on the living room floor.
the lightning flashing
lit up the tree frogs
clinging to the window.
their shadows swallowed the room.
