poetry in the aisles


Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted some poems, so here are some of my latest. Hope you like, jump a dike, take a hike, or ride a bike (no, that's not one of my new poems, but it should be!).


untitled 4167


broken teeth

of the homeless in the bucket

beyond the highrise


she shoots down

the sheets

with checkered pattern

because


oh

because


it is the end of all things to be thinking

of slim

shaken vagabonds with

the drink

and the shake

and

the wistfulness of ancient

sixteen

year olds hitching

across the

desert




untitled 4177


the night is young

we


open our doorways

of screws and hooks

and

latch down the key

carpet


I jumped twenty stories

to

find newspaper and

rice leaves

and


ancient dogs bursting tongues on

fire hydrants


oh city of savants


come cripple the elderly couple

as they sit in

the park

and

toss paper clippings of city mayors

to pigeons in popcorn




untitled 4170


streams steady

river


blue


in love she cries

all

her life for

the wicker


trees to be wicked in evening

and

graceful

by


dawn


she is the caterpillar on

the window


you as a child shriek and

smash the shade

atop

the supple green
