I wonder what she thinks like with no clothes on?
“the work”
spent time
a long time
along, time
hey there sunshine
how do we get married?
“effffffortless,” she says
our lives in order
or just the words describing it?
follow your dreams
small, manageable dreams
is it valuable just because I think it is?
or valuable because I commit it to paper?
choice, stress
“I wish I had what you have.”
the way you
personally, worry
things happen quickly
falling in love with life
achieved with admirable ease
statement of intent
quality assurance
missions
thunderous applause
irony, empathy, affffffection
oft en anxiety
visual prompts
photographic reality
genetically useful
neurotypically handsome
American noses
changed tense, preserved tense
veneer of emotion
never been missed
rarely achieved
lewd smirk
is this a foreplay question?
a question of tone
paralyzed with pleasure
empowered sexiness
openness, intimacy
surely, relentlessly
smoking less, how does that happen?
southern hemisphere chardonnay
looking like a nap
cocktail bar
newspaper dulling
club soda stain removal methods
methodically touching
nothing of consequence
it doesn’t need to be remarkable
or amusing
what, exactly, is going on here?
the better version
dream vacation
a little place, away
perceived wrongs
ineffiffifficient, undesirable
on the brink of all sins
bug bites
we need a new apartment
first, foremost
looking at the world
taking pity
slight, sweet
committed to the vision
tragedy, sin
a complex hoax
bad imitation
truly dreadful
the world series
re-imagined maybe
a technicality
duplicate recording
the present tense
presently, tense
another round of drinks
personality quizzes killing time
cnn.com
nobody is interested
arrival, departure
no guarantee
reading about yawning makes me yawn
we should go back to work
expecting someone?
yes, but later
alt-ctrl-del
or is it
ctrl-alt-del?
explaining the concept
means of explanation
instantly analyzed
“green initiatives”
or a smoothie
flax seeds?
something natural
seeming much quieter
a disaster
the buffffffer zone
chilled
it’ll cost you
not the price, but the cost
google search result
impressive abilities
entropy, laziness
boredom, luxury
triumph, human spirit
unprecedented, history
I’m sorry, who?
suddenly everyone leaves
coincidences that might have happened but never did
always pay attention
serious aesthetic consideration
nothing bad happens in a miracle
I don’t believe we’ve met
meanwhile
skincare routine, immaculate
the world changes, us
genuine biological reasons
probably everyone else
presumably everyone else
french grammar
dior glasses
how does this happen?
again, it happens
another, so slow
if I may interject
the only reason time exists
I will not tease
licked lips, fingertips
continually automatic
the story already exists
ready?
I’m at the bar with two bundles of tulips at my feet
happy place, my
a to b to c
a list
paintings, on the other hand
ideal for life
pretend you’re dead
cause and effffff ect death
the succession of reveals
sequencing abilities
I’m not sure why I called,
I should have sent a text
technically
I have three b**ks coming out in march
technically unemployed
no need to erase the past
despite the seeming apocalypse
such as right now
aim low, brother
you’re missing nothing
no more middle class
but what’s in Winnipeg?
this, my sister
working best when not depressed
the outside world
soothing, successful
genetic dumpster
exposure
sober up before heading home
fortifififi ed adrenalin
caloric assessment
normalcy training
I want to go home but I don’t want to distract you
a man orders a drink for a disinterested woman
oysters
would you like a shot?
no, but I’ll have one anyways.
gestural
bored, boring
gestures, boredom
a spectacle
cut ties, losses
take a left on eastern blvd.
what kind of person I am
or can be
“what are you working on?”
currently eating a clementine
talking myself out of being frightened
blood on the barricades
backing up quickly
Dylan Thomas
me? I didn’t learn much
ok, very well
your
new
life
like 9/11
I’m on a roll
making connections
always ask me
but yes, I love you
no means of thawing out
tired, perhaps drunk
has the narrative changed?
I can’t get through
“who we are now we’ll always be”
leisure, theft
enemy of promise
pornhub title rhetoric
firm, unforgiving
I slouch too much
I’m already short yet here I am
slumped in a chair
slowly getting tired
it’s not even 9pm
but let’s go to sleep
hands sticky
nerds drinking bourbon
ugh
yes I am making fun of you
where does this specififific narrative end?
it’s already fififinished, silly!
the indicator of success
just love
love, success
I never thought of it that way
not handsome,
maybe smart
smart?
the capacity to be alone
tractatus:
a) “practical”
b) “dragged”
good research makes good work
booking flflfl ights
rice in my teeth
ok, bye
no, let’s have a cigarette fififi rst
time frozen
photocopies
mathematical certainty
all possible
true life
poison the well
almost charming
the rest of us
reflflfl ective thinking
trophy taking
hard to imagine
chemical cues
I think I can do this
ambivalent most people
variations of confusion
what a burning book most resembles
collectively cut tension
slight
tactical advantage
change your life when your life is good
passion, crime, betrayal, loyalty
a cautionary tale
contamination
double-dipped chip
witness relocation program
get rich quick scheme
crippling fear
Kinsey scale
y2k virus
controlled obsolescence
you must be new here
darling,
honey muffiffiffi n,
sugar
baby
now I am sleepy
offiffiffi cially
distracted for a little while
a series of statements
opinion doesn’t matter
my conclusion
everything I can think of
inevitable conversation
faintly like lavender
completive reflflfl ection
zero commitment
thirty seconds
slightly apart
soft focus equals
love?
love
rapid memory loss
February 18, 2014
I don’t even know what city I was in
abandoned history, situations, landscapes
not afraid,
are frightened
in trouble
in the past
you’re all of you
praying your prayers
a decision away from eternity
everything, timing
situational landscape
from a certain angle
richly satisfying
ozone
permanent accountability
no eureka moment
I’m staring at you, reading
red pen, writing
long pink nails flflfl ip pages
I hope you’re happy
or at least not unhappy
mindful of worn leather couch
Tommy Hilfififi ger ankle socks
black skirt, panties (?)
nose not broken but was
Super Mario Brothers soundtrack
or it sounds like it, anyways
a prophet, alone
posture, perfect
evidence
the way our parents punish us
explain that to me
life, endlessly
human, vegetable, mineral
practical knowledge
the cat just kissed me,
did you see?
oh, she’s gone now
nevermind
is the housecat aware of continents?
getting cosmic
suddenly, I
(not fififi t for print)
unaware of my face, reading
taking photos of text for myself
or someone else
touching feet, singing in key
“with your arms outstretched to me”
day lilies
greater glory,
greater suffffff ering
erasing self impulses
ok, I’ll leave
no, don’t leave
people leave all the time
just like that
really
trapdooring, actually
where am I going with this?
I’m sorry sweetie
I stopped paying attention
don’t take it personally
a certain yellow of anxiety and jealousy
maybe
was it the drinking that made me sleepy,
or was I just sleepy?
softer sleep spiteful gestures
smoking in bed
sensitive to energy
the seams in my jeans becoming obvious
falling asleep fully clothed spiteful gestures
should I continue?
going back in time in a way that wasn’t good
time, always
how old am I now?
easier to kill, hmm
replaceable, identical, forgotten
feeling unique, being unique
protesting the unexpected
all my life, not surprised
the incident, without transition
overdue
I didn’t find any errors in my words
and yet, the apocalypse?
did we speak of that yet?
d.j. vu?
worst concept, infififinity
whatever generic weekday
is that what I mean
sugar?
my stufffffy nose means I’ve been snoring
I should work harder in case I get sick
or rather “really sick”
awareness, never ending
you can do better for someone else
vanish, avoidable future
I didn’t check my horoscope this morning
a pattern to be broken
not recognizing poetry
“ecstatic schoolgirl anti-style”
something is always the matter
and fate is for losers
shattered glass ceiling
one of those lives where you can’t remember your life before
and now that you have everything you’ve ever wanted,
what’s left to do?
“you may not like the weather,
but it has nothing to do with you."
