notes on a new life

a wolf shops for housewares          the same way I do

her teeth gleam                    she reminds me

of the dogs I’ve never had               never will

PLAYTEST

toggling isogonal polygons
noisiest, zappiest puzzling
pliantly illusion seekings

Dead or Alive

My grandfather died in the spring and I spent what, in my memory, was my entire spring break playing DOA 3. My parents were at work or dealing with the aftermath.

Three Poems

I can’t get out of the car
and the car can’t move.

We are both in a tree
and we can’t get out.

Quantum Entanglement

I can’t forgive the way you break the rules,
the steeled curve of your grin.
You don’t even like this, do you?
