It was so much fun
for us to see you cry
because we’ve decided
you should die.
Why should I
lie and say I knew?
Why the long face?
This is your clover.
Now get back up. Nah
bend back over.

It was so much fun

Why should I

Why the long face?
This is your clover.
Now get back up. Nah

You think you’re the only one
wants me dead?
I, for one.

watchit, slow-like
watch the sad sink in
and hurt
buckling skin
over and over.
By laws I got tributaries
carved by tears.
I will never be that
new thing again.
You think you’re the only one
testing me?
I can do
which I say.
Yet you wanna
pushit to crack
push my words to burst
and leak.
Bleeding edge
what’s acceptable?
Because on this edge is
where I burn.
I will always be yours,
burdensome proof.
You think you’re the only one
teasing me?

No. You can’t.
Not you, no.
We have rooms of pad and straight.
We have rooms of stick and brick.

I failed mine.
On the ground it’s a slow boil burning.
“Not me!” some say. “I’m shining!”
It’s true.
The burns shine good on you.
Could unboiled critter claim so bright a hue?

I want to publicly register my absence
from the first back correction,
as I was either unborn.
Or how would such a young mind possibly
recall, dear me?
In reality,
I remember ajar furnace door,
warmly darkened garage,
back brace
on Dad leaning painfully
on Mom.
The latest invasion was not;
a tiny cut to accommodate a camera,
and other tools,
through a vast tunnel from spine to dermis,
to surgeon’s hands,
on-screen.
In my lifetime,
things once butcherous have sleakened.
For I remember this time;
the day I looked at my wake.
Reminded, it’s mine.
From a nuclear depth;
I got, I have, I’m fixin’
my make-up.
Backbone.
Spine.
Just to warn
‘I’m not gonna run around and buzz like that.’
I said My bobblehead bobbles with this other vibration.
and I’m trying to keep them both
humming for me.
Both singing and clocks reverse
is what I’ve been trying to say.

McPaul knows.
They’re in heat.

Lenny needs a good home.
Why do Republicans outright block all of President Obama’s Nominees? Beats me. Let’s vote them out. Locally, the Primary Election is held on the 22nd. Woot!
I guess you could say I was on to this whole voyeuristic charade. I must’ve been about 10 years old. But I looked good in my new swimsuit. It was a sturdy blue-and-white pinstripe ensemble, and I had already carefully assessed my body for any possible flaws and it all checked out; so I took most of my clothes off for the annual Oakridge Elementary Fashion Show!
It was exhilarating to walk that makeshift catwalk.
