the innanet


I'm taking a web design class this semester so I can have a portfolio website. It was a bad idea, it has never taken me so long to be mediocre at something before.

I've been making lists for a long time now. I kind of want to write about 40 blank lists and invite a bunch of girls over and make everyone sit in a real big circle. Then we would pass out the lists and everyone would have 60 seconds to write as many things as they could before switching with the person on their left.

I had help with this, you know who you are. maybe you are embarrassed.
maybe I am going to illustrate this.

things i didn't like about you:
you were short
you used paint palettes as ashtrays
you never made me anything, just talked about it
you smoked all my weed and then fell asleep
you broke my toilet
you didn't like my dog

things i did like about you:
you paid attention
you smelled my hair
you liked hammocks
we went on roadtrips
you wrote me a bad song - and a good one
you played chess

things to do at the beach
sleep
apply sunscreen
read a book
draw a cartoon
undo your top strap
dig a hole
eat a popsicle
drink a beer and hide it in the sand

favorite times to smoke a joint
during my lunch break/ down the street in front of the loading dock
walking to the train in the morning before everyone else is awake
while watching twin peaks

things life would be better without
the girl who thinks she is my boss, but absolutely is not
the hair that gets stuck in my mouth/ your mouth when we are kissing
rooms without windows
when you try and make those faces

things i left at home that i needed today

heartbreaker






Thank you, Monica.
Thank you, Artun.
Congrats!


a poem


a poem about a person

I like it when my cat watches me have sex
He is usually upstairs sleeping
on my roommate's bed
when I go looking for him
I take him under one arm and bring him into my room
I feed him
He is confused and stares at the bowl before he begins to eat
That’s when I close the door
J is already on my bed, adjusting my ipod. Something 70s and Brazilian starts playing
When I am on top and feeling everything—one hand on J’s shoulder, the other against the wall
I turn my body
My brown eyes meet his
Big and yellow and glowing in the dark

Lastly, the delightful Maxwell Williams currated this a while ago. I was sad I missed the opening but I was in New Orleans at the time. Anyways, it is closing soon and everyone should go.
