Poetry

When my dad & I played Tecmo Super Bowl

Tecmo / Barry was pretty good, but he couldn’t dance like the real / Barry, just like how I could run fly patterns for my dad / in our front yard but in a pick-up game even the easiest / passes bounced off my hands.

‘>GET LAMP’ and other poems

>look
you can barely see
through the dark
the boxes of baseball cards
a pink panther action figure

The Dark Hour

A cold sea to continue:
our facets rise like curious merfolk, tattooed
with a doctor scribble—we must have been
young or writing with our left hands.

on ______

what is it like? 
lightning, clearly; 
all atomic foofaraw; 
the glint on the scales of a trout.
