STUMBLES IX

FALL 2006

an amnesiac staring at dandelions moves to amsterdam,
pleased
and tossed across the sea
the hunger pains point their boney fingers
because winter hates all men
if only men were something else instead - polar bears

we cant spend that long inside a (train)car
thinking of the times we were high

got some for me?
GODDAMN


the air has so much in it

this seals
mental iceboxes

butthair and eskimo kisses
this way
brush up on them, like svelte abby tabbies

drugs of heartbreak

children with laryngitis shout helllooooooo into caverns’


oh-la-la-LA
button hard
black dark

yellow brick houses
and deep breaths dont help nothing at all
i only remember being really annoying
and remember


who are all these people, things, with their lights lit up
on
staring into glowing cubes

i take you off and take you out
lights off lights out

learning how to take pictures of lightening




i keep on looking up at this broken clock like it is supposed to mean something

pulling a string in one ear and out the other
