mom and dad don't like me
they said i haven't got a clue today
and everything they know is true, they say
and that i'm wrong
they punish with a combination of
verbal abuse and total lack of love
and they ignore me

there's a hole in a brick wall
six black beetles are
running in a circle
being purposeless

a pillowesque desk in the
corner of a science
room has become the

something wasn't right
it wasn't she
you thought it wouldn't get
around to me
but i'm too clever no
it's not her fault
i think you should go home
and drink your malt

I had a dream
Crispy crispy Benjamin Franklin came over
Baby-sat all four of my kids
Then in my dream
I told the doctor off
He said: "If you don't want to do it then you don't have to do it"
He said the truth is you'll be okay, anyway

pnina wore a blanket reading books on the couch
pnina's legs were folded fingers clasped to her mouth
she thought
she'd go to sleep and dream
in photographs

her brother josh in his pajamas lay on the floor
playing chess he knew what all the pieces were for

the sound of heels attacking
gravel in an alley and the
scent of something sulfurous
gushes from her lips

emyli everybody wants to be you
they don't know the shit that you've been through
emyli everybody wants to be you

the sound of heels attacking
gravel in an alley and the
scent of something sulfurous
gushes from her lips

emyli everybody wants to be you
they don't know the shit that you've been through
emyli everybody wants to be you

when you go to sleep you
try to think about small things
so your body slows
and your mind explodes
when the radiation
reaches blankets in the dark
they will keep you safe
but not if you're awake

what a day
felt so strange
couldn't sleep
couldn't breath
felt as if
i was sick
breathless
speechless

Tommy and Nathan were just two inseparable boys
Fond of rebellion and heresy and other noise
They lived in a room in a school in the country somewhere
Without a care

Tommy liked smoking and laughing and messing around
Nathan liked sitting and reading not making a sound
They loved each other like healthy teenagers should

he was a sly one
he always wanted to explore us
he liked the ladies
he liked the gentlemen as well
he pushed my patience to the limits and he
he pushed my confidence as well
yes he did
he tried so hard to make us love him

there is a can in the corner
of the pantry
and it doesn't have an expiration date
we're both afraid to go near it
although it looks
to be some delectable green beans
and we both like green beans
we're both quite partial to green beans

halogen lamps
illuminate dark
but only a way
it's dark in the sky
and halogen lamps
will spark in your eye
'til black is as far
as your eye can see

colin kept clean syringes
fastened in his briefcase
just in case he needed closure
they'd be close at hand
mel made scrumptious banquets
set the table just for two
kept her strychnine in the kitchen
sealed in vacuum-tight containers

miriam was kind of homely
kind of ugly in the face and hands
she had nice eyes
she had nice breasts and hands and feet but she was
small
and dark
and hurt
all over

mud
seeping up through her toes
coloring all of the roses gray
she doesn't care
she likes it in her hair
two parts of water
three parts of ocean sand
she mixes them with her ivory hand, saying

my attention is cashed so don't
talk to me anymore be the
subject terrifying or
important or pure
my cigarettes are spent so don't
expect productivity be the
matter just or crucial or
personal or reactive

oh metal fan
so generally electric
buzzing like a wasp with chronic asthma
nestled amongst
a pile of useless papers
accompanied by my miniature LCD TV on which a
show is very quietly
making the room

she had to fold her emotional blip
and go home
she survived so long ignored by you
and she's grown
out of her infatuation with you
out of any mild sort of love with you
good for you sir
that was perfect timing

you took your bags and walked into my head
you sing up there you dance when i'm in bed
i've tried to ask "please sleep at night"
you laugh at me instead
i've tried explaining you don't understand
you gesture with your holographic hand

"i'm built of smoke" you say "i'm fake you made me

Rain

far across the world a moth is flapping its wings
in a ditch somewhere some kid is growing
rain along the roof it's sunny somewhere else
up in clintonville it's started snowing
rain in the gutter and a toy boat capsizes
as a sailboat capsizes in the ocean

i came down from the balcony
to meet my romeo
he was dressed in blue jeans
and he looked cold
standing in the snow
oh
why'd you come
romeo

she has eyes closed
she has fevered
as her hands flick
cross her stomach
she is dreaming
she is breathless
as her sweat beads
on her forehead

hunched at the foot of her naked bed
with arms embracing the final suitcase
erica wishes the room and the house with the yard
would fold into her pocketbook
she'd punch them in the trunk of the station wagon
complete with dog and debit card
far away from home she will be
by the weekend's end

Wearing a string of fairies around her neck
Tells me she's gone and nothing will bring her back
Whether the future's bright or we're out of luck
Don't try to argue much she won't give a fuck
She's dying
She's dying
She's dying
She's dying

You miss me christmas
Every day of the year
I'm missing christmas
I can't stand when i hear
Those jingles laughter
It's so cozy to know
I'm going crazy
Every time i see snow

Hanging out down by where
The big bear used to be
On james and livingston ave
Smoking on spent pall malls
With a couple of friends
Trading secrets for what we have
Bored with boredom, looking forward to
Miracles, miracles, miracles, miracles
