the ground has something to say

poetry

they told me it’s rules
you have to
and slapped it on my face
it’s not my fault
i’ve been crawling in it
and still don’t quite get it
but you, you seem fine
with everything constrained
you make it work
she makes it roll off
her shoulders
and i’d like to know how
she keeps the soldiers
at bay–
with lips
like that;
and the subtlest breeze
knocks me down
where i walk upside down
and you, well
you’re oh so small
in this wonderland.

because you disgust me

poetry

cant find the thoughts i left
in the room next to your kitchen
which i hesitate to call dining
or even den given the state its in

and the disarray is distracting
at best knowing i should have
written on something more robust
than a napkin thus making me
downright mad i was interacting

with such a face as yours
in such as house as yours
over such thoughts as yours
