Kill me. Sharpen
plastic Diet
Pepsi bottle
caps, octopus
sucker to hands
and fingers, slap
me - face, arms, throat -
cumulative
death by trickles,
minutes, hours,
semesters, years.

[I Daydream I Am]

I daydream I am
who I didn't when I could.

Backpacker,
digital mute,

knows different thistles
medicinal properties,

tells time
by fists and sun.

Finishes novels.
Dinners with family.

Unpublished
self-published

poet, not too
high a credit

score
not me.

[The List of Motherfuckers]

The list of motherfuckers
(note: don't blurt
motherfucking cops
in a small car
fat with loved ones)
cubes each heartbeat
farts and ends with me.
