you know
i am keeping the mood and attitude up
but it would REALLY be ok for the universe to stop throwing the pounches already
getting vertigo from rolling with them

excerpts #1

Fish Belly Feet

I lost flesh in between the rocks
every April
when the ground thawed
and trees teased with some vague promise
of green
kept me hoping
know
green wasn't until May.

Always with those
almost warm enogh days
after so much frozen
when me and every adult in town
wore shorts
in fifty degrees.
While fish belly feet
found the ground again
raw in dirt
leaving week flesh on the gravel
with skin crying
singing
yelling
from the life.

Spring in San Francisco

She calls to tell me
she's leaving Detroit again
moving to another part
of Cass Corridor
which isn't really different
Except that she says it is
when the line drops out
and I am alone.

I didn't get to tell her
the flower guy refused me lilacs again
and I get them
to think of her
the fake ones she sent me
16 months ago
and that one moment in spring
1994
with her
when I felt happy.

c'mon...pick me up

best pick up line ever!

Seriously, is your Dad a mechanic? 'cause you got all the right parts.

c'mon
what's yr cheesiest? best one? or best comeback to a bad pick up line - and i don't mean a punch in the face.
