sparkle gutter river

surfacing

i found him
and then i never saw him again

and your little dog too...

sweating
the funny little leprechaun pointed out that it was awfully hot in my office

training impatience to be a virtue
thy will be done
i'll just take my disappointment and be on my merry way

fail one
the easy way is the highway

fail two
it's never meant to be poems
just observations and recollections of truths
and lies

perfect astrology
the way he feels about me is the way she feels about him
to see from both sides
medicine, not poison
caution
he's totally perfect, except for the part where he's an asshole
one rotten tomato can ruin a whole salad
or something
she totally sees what i see/saw in (the other) him

i am destined to fall for men who will never think to notice that i don't like sushi

still waiting for the punchline

yellow

barking dog
without fanfare, he's gone
uninspired is also calm
no choice but to let it be
has she fallen again?
only time will know
it fades...

lemonade

from before:
the fact that you're here means that you lied

tonight i could sleep for a thousand years...

the air gets jaundice

never seen anything like it
but i missed the double rainbow

took my song out into the world today
debauchery preempted by potential toxic waste emergencies,
disasters on hold...
in some ways it's nice to (not)date a guy where the risks are all out on the table
cleaning one mess at a time
(tonight it was the shelves in my bathroom)

waiting is such sweet sorrow
