how blind

blackened cloud, i
mistook you for sunlight, i
basked in your torrents.

Sneaked out the window.

He left her still on the bed.

Panting and ravished.

a snow covered world
january twenty-eighth
where did the earth go?

i make investments
in people i love a lot
and desire requite

now, tell me stangers,
what sort of loving is that?
longing is illusion

and yet, i'm perplexed
like the calm and massive sea
still moonlight's servant

ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN

fucking prats, just sit
and stare at your shoes, forget
you i'mma shake things

for bonnie and clyde

the stories we've been
told of all the years before,
an eternity

horrible timing

I've always doubted.

Now ev'ryone's affirming.

I'm one sexy fuck.

chi-chi

this little panda
had escaped from the zoo in
1958

if everyone wrote
a caustic mumble before
bed, they'd fall asleep

cold feet, but warm heart
jasmine tea cozies the soul
all is well 'round here

On the Run

Four walls to hold me.
And each wall four more plus one.
NO! I'm free from SEVENTEEN!



(and "ha ha" said he)
(who saw his jail and broke free,)
( running with the key! )

We were lost, he left.
I laughed, loved. He worked, learned. Rejoined!
-- But who the wiser?

BACK TO BARTERING

equilibrium
the pettiness of supply
and demand: FUCK IT

four years ago she
dropped from the sky and we wailed
in black. miss you, megs.

Adita

Adita claps her
hands and laughs, laughs; her two front
teeth have wiggled free.

a continuous struggle

i baked you some things
temporarily filled void
it's just your stomach

will you care today?
hugs, kisses, or lies to give?
no baked goods for you!

give a lot of love
what do i receive in 'turn?
lots of confusion

IN THE MAIL CAME MY
ATLAS WHILE THE UNIVERSE
WRINKLED AND SIGHED, "HUSH"

jungle boy

if only i could
have you to hold, purest one,
puppy love it's true

Skeptical Weather

Warm days in winter.

A loving gift from Gaia

or tease from Jack Frost.

unusual moments

a lot happened this
week, you and you in my heart
who will win, i wonder...

I invested time

here at this company- which

I'm not sure about

The thought, which is there

Beautiful yet lackluster

Enchanting but dumb?

What have I worked for

Why should I keep working here?

Great environment...

It makes me so sad.

I can't share my talents, or

'Elitist worker'?

This is a joint venture/

Communication upgrades

might not be worthwhile...

There's much confusion

Yet I liked your company

can I do better?

You'll feel abandoned.

And maybe the company

offers what I lack.

I love many things

Which your company impedes?

Should a boy secede?

I don't want to work

Just want to bang on my drum

All day.  (Decisions)

the ego boosting 

Right Guard Extreme Power Stripe:

no longer carried.

Retrospective Thoughts

No rhyme or reason

to your acts of treason. -- Ice

is warm beside you.

this much is so;

chemistry, you say
well, i know all about this
both in love and life

( globalization )

politics of a
global economy, it's
not an absolute

Swimming in You

Bring me your round vase

with pinched waist, large bust, bottom up.

Soak me. Quench my lust.

OH HAPPY DAY

in the cafe all
huddled around TVs, you
me, us--elation

tainted image

i knew you'd hurt me
thought, "if not now, when?", you know
i thought well of you

everybody wanna go to japan

"time spent laughing is
time spent with the gods," she said,
grinning all the while

POWER TO THE PEOPLE VIA METHODS OF BAKING

quiet monday jam
cookies, wished the youth of my
country cared to fight

just wondering

"what are we doing?"
i asked, you shrugged in response
"can i love you though?"

Cooking, Cooking, Cook-

ing! but not a bite to eat.

It's ironic, no?

Anonymous or Bust

Sacrifices

simply for recognition?

That just won't do. GIVE!

?

Footsie?

toes to her calf -- warm

ankle to ankle -- friction

it's my own foot -- damn

-Crabby-

reasons one, two, three
might just be that i don't want
someone to like me

so close, but can't touch
it's right inside, but all wrong.
love is out of reach.

-Crabby-

we're so sorry

dear january
16th: we did not mean to
forget your haiku!

my name isn't tom

though my name is tom,
i am not a peep-ing tom,
i like ice cream yummmmmm

I was blessed with honesty.

"You're so mean," he said.
So I've learned to keep secrets.
Better than ever.

acid trip

where are you, friends who
care to fill bellies unknown,

bellies not your own?

let's gather it up
in a world-size net; banish
this winter, this cold

twelve evil aliens

forget emotions

to gain mind control powers

like the aliens

Balance

With little choice
Balance is kept from within
give all and keep soul

only so much

i am the baby
don't tell me everything
my ears can't handle

Winter Warriors 2

With armor they glide.

Headlong, brave into the fray--

They fight slopes with sleds.

(twofer!)

Winter Warriors 1

A cold breeze whistles

over the white fields of war--

Snowballs break the calm.

ode to boy

too much to contain
unsure of how to do so
heart getting heavy

a hut in the warm heart of africa

the room flushed with steam
we are hungry and we pray
god lives here, i think.

STUFF IT

KLUTZY, & UNSURE
TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE
KNEW THIS BEFORE ME

Dreams: Out of Order

Winter midnight shift:

Days are short, my days are long.

I've broken my clock.

a bad night's sleep

dreams of pounding waves
swallowing themselves; the sound
violently wakes me

science/she is rad.

can i please still like a girl

who's not sciency?

THE DIGITAL AGE IS GONE

dream sleep eyes weep up
another life to live not
this one; i fidget

warmth

you are the softest
if i could snuggle always
it would be with you

Sophia de Cárdenas

A lost dog wanders

the old streets at dusk. Dark fur!

--Snow has saved her life.

A lost dog wanders

at dawn. Saved again. Heated

seats make a fine bed.

brother malcolm x

the living room breathes
a dewy yellow colour,
filling it with warmth

Winter's Baker

Layer cake of snow,

ice, and asphalt in smooth peace.

Sliced with nervous blade.

dearest thomas i did not know!

blizzard snow riding
my bicycle home,with a
tea kettle close by

finally

it's time for giggles
toes, legs, arms, hands intertwined
you smiled wide for me

friday morning

the yoga teacher
apologizes for her
high levels of stress

The Best Defense

Hot fluffy cakes of

Green and yellow guard against

Harsh cold gray winter.

(Sorry I missed yesterday!)

Typical ER

"Short of breath." "Chest pain."

"Fatal crash." "Full arrest." "Stroke."

--Three week cough, "Me First!"

moon rock

when Michael Jackson

walked on the moon he brought back

a moon pop tune rock

haven't baked cookies
in over 3 weeks it seems
going through withdrawal

Hot Cold Fever :: Cool Cool Sweat

Cold winds bring friends close,

Share the sheets, bed, warmth, dusk, dawn--

Show me fault in that.

it's that time of year
for cuddles and snuggles
can i join in?

looking in mirrors
seeing muma look back at
long tendrils, coarse black

when a body catch a body

ice caked the car and
remembered to let them sleep
awhile till morning

TVP

I am forever indebted to this bizarre textured meat substitute.
I have always been a very textural person, but I like it most in sandwich form.
I think. Mmm.
Vegan sloppy joes 4e.

I cook food for friends
Work is dumb the pay is low
fried okra amends

Lentils

Lentils taste like shit
if you don't cook them like this:
sizzle, swoop, tssss, ploop

love at every node

Within the Great Web,
where my thoughts dribble and drift
your face is here ... there

My book of love has

orange rind eyes and a soft

soul, a woozy heart.

first morning of class
i wake up too early and
make oatmeal, salty

no hands

if i had no hands
i would wash my feet better
and hold you with them

three to four

will i ever sleep
un/alone, with someone to
hold close to and be

eye contact

now i see your eyes

i'm terrified but trying

to attach myself

"In The Beginning",

blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah

right now i'm happy!

do you know how great

being honest and talking

to good friends can be!?

fuck the drive-thru

mine eyes are burning

into the back of my brain,

ah sleep come to me

when im glad i wag my tail

wherever i go

around the world i pee on

bark and leave my mark

Haiku Aikyu

i was wondering

are we counting 'world' etc 

as one, two, or both?

ate oh klok klok klok

sheep, sheep, sheep
dancing over
someone else's heads.

dark cold nights

the tips of my toes

froze in winter boots- envy

my green tea burnt tongue

cheesy i know, but i just saw the documentary

part of the weekend
never dies - maybe when i
am a real dj

(i have a cold)

i'm quick to untrust
those who reveal themselves so
flat-out, unabashed

feng shui karate

a centralized bed

makes a perfect place for a

friendly pillow fight

i miss many old friends
even amidst the new ones
but can't seem to call

my god, try to hate
these global warming mornings
bare sun on bare knees

Starcraft is not Love,

Don't try double expanding;

What if they proxy?

burn after reading

don't sweat the small stuff

jonathan edward driscoll

and it's all small stuff

hold on for a little more

the years keep coming
when i tried so hard to stop
them from falling down

knock knock who is there

Mary Lou Mary Lou who?

Mary Lou Retton

i want to wear a

pair of cashmere socks and sleep

in until five o'clock.

ANONONONOMYS

in a year, how will
i remember all that i
wrote in haiku form?

sewer was backed up
plumber said it was tampons
oh, girls, girls, girls, girls

Wait til they're away
I can't. in this hermit life.
whisper fakely night

Late I love

I am late oh well
is an empty tunnel black
over yellow stalks

Our Friend's Dad is Drunk

mr. weadl shouts:
"the purest form of bacon!"
wine in his belly

birds, earth, and the year

Migrating birds sleep
A slumbering earth migrates
Change renews the year

raw jaw

old habits die hard
i will eat like a free rab-
bit in the dessert

A NEW YEARS DAY

eleven forty,
one dozen bagels finish
just before twelve sharp

skunk

a skunk in the hole
of a tree trunk stinking up
a fine home for squirrels
