Doink, I am the guy in score-settling
Say I get a dozen more readers
matrixes who kills me. I can see
say a guy two hundred years from now
systems but not build them
finds a heat-seared moleskine contents
I can whine or adapt, I am shameless
stenciled on my tongue, I will love you.
I do both! to equal effect, equal claps.

My Fatal Flaw

My fatal flaw is I don't sand my keystone.
My fatal flaw is I don't sand my keystone.
I don't want to be king.
I don't want to be king, I resent
I resent not being king.
not being king. I'm happiest
I'm happiest when surlily
surlily scolding the king
scolding the king from my pinhole.
from my balcony. My fatal flaw
My fatal flaw: I'm smart enough to know
is smart enough to know my percentile.
my percentile, I could be an asshole,
I could be an asshole, have fewer
have fewer, better scars.
deeper scars. My fatal flaw cheats,
My fatal flaw competes, disqualifies itself.
disqualifies itself while in the lead.
My fatal flaw expects congratulations.
My fatal flaw expects congratulations
My fatal flaw counts syllables
for being disqualified. My fatal flaw
regardless. My fatal flaw would smoke
won't do what I want it to because I want it to
if offered. My fatal flaw is fluent
when offered. My fatal flaw can't read
in insignificance: stoppered, what isn't?
its own handwriting. My fatal flaw
My fatal flaw is I don't want to be king
believes its ark should make it king.
but since I can't be king I'm a shitty prince.

I'm not empty but thirsty
quenched. The house band
covers corpses, eight six
seven five three O nine. My
thirsty is empty, pocks
like reshaken club soda.

I hear doors slam and know odds are I glue door
slams to my fate. Cats purr, wild cats who eat trash
sleep in chairs on my porch, cats half tame now know
I won’t harm them, know that I feed them, might let
me touch them one day but not the next, hub in
my shed. My grass grows long, not whacked by my shed.
Our king is kind if it’s me, if I like you like me
and am not wrong, what more can I bid you won’t
kill me in my sleep or me you? Love will eat
scraps and call it love. This is not bad, this is
best we do when we don’t want to, just like now.

With regard to regarding slapped and ready and bleeding

With regard to regarding slapped and ready and bleeding
don’t be so obscure as to insinuating knuckle
dance naked in false clothing I’m selling by selling I’m
I’ve no idea what I write or on purpose by buying
as baseball statisticians him with a drunken error
count each foul ball hallowly won’t know how I could have killed
maybe we always needed cant won’t not remember me
discipline when discipline I marvel the Toyota’s
spurred the easy discipline’s self-spanked breakfast at stoplights
self-sparked breakfasts at stoplights spurred the easy discipline’s
I marvel the Toyota’s discipline like discipline
cant won’t not remember me maybe we always needed
won’t know how I could have killed count each foul ball hallowly
him with a drunken error as baseball statisticians
or on purpose by buying I’ve no idea what I write
I’m selling by selling I’m dance naked in false clothing
insinuating knuckles don’t be so obscure as to
slapped and ready and bleeding with regard to regarding.

Because tomorrow is grandpa I say time is just a bookmark

Because tomorrow is grandpa I say time is just a bookmark
day after tomorrow is yesterday's stamp or seal
weirdly younger cousin on my eyelids' passport, cinched
by parents' stomachs of the housewives of Fuckington.
sloppy tomorrow, what chaos What chaos isn't tedious
not spewing untapped is still untapped as the fucking
in strategically selected Potomac River flooding the seventh
countries. time this summer my snake-infested clubhouse?

Western Michigan just beat Central Michigan

Western Michigan just beat Central Michigan.
Western Michigan students are storming the field.
  

I'm in a bar waiting (for my life to
change) to be a taxi, I've inked red
three pages, the regulars eyebrow
one another, get a load of this fucker.
I pull out my cellphone, fake texting.
   

My dog poohed in the downpour as soon as outside.
Who cares if it was in his self-interest.

I don't bother dating I don't bother I don't bother dating

I don't bother dating I don't bother I don't bother dating
tablet entries dating tablet entries what no one will read
until I notice I'll blog stamp the prior because I won't
I don't date tablet night or prior publish it afraid to
entries and write night didn't matter publish this poem
a dated post like it mattered when I wrote except by
with a sentence undated beads of deer misdirection, honor
like this this one shit fresh as a wet opal in tablet of tablet.
