tattoo

   Tattoo
by Wallace Stevens


 The light is like a spider.
 It crawls over the water.
 It crawls over the edges of the snow.
 It crawls under your eyelids
 And spreads its webs there--
 Its two webs.

 The webs of your eyes
 Are fastened
 To the flesh and bones of you
 As to rafters of grass.

 There are filaments of your eyes
 On the surface of the water
 And in the edges of the snow.

fillings in notebooks /

trying to make a list of thoughtful ways to waste my own time.......

smells

sometimes, without warning or clear cause, i smell you. it's cheap.
like hamster shavings, sweat, your parent's house, old spice. and an ounce of something on fire.

poverty

1998. Watching this music video alone in my room was probably my first sexual experience.

the new yorker

I never used to read the New Yorker, but I do now. I did today.

Often, I do not understand the cartoons.

Joe Brainard is the best thing that's happened to me this month.

I love him, the "I Remembers", and of course, the Nancys

Murray, August 2009



This is Joe's dog Murray. He needs help brushing his hair. 

of recent

losing a friend
not having a ride
self-absorbed
baking things to make the air smell better
hurrying and waiting
talking to jilda
where is my line
should i stay
and wait for your letter
you don't know me anymore
hollow sirens
severe faced witch
i left our topless pumpkins out in the rain, surely they have rotted
we will just have to make new ones

i hope that black lipstick is made out of something toxic

we are one step closer to an aids vaccine but i still write about microbials

Calm

I just want to read and write and
be calm.
be closer to something like perfect.

why does pee wee herman wear lipstick?
