my favorite song is kate is great by the bouncing souls
i once sang along with four hippos, riding in a car,
almost shouting the lyrics, while it played on the honda civic
factory installed cd player.
we were driving past my elementary school,
where someone stomped by glow-in-the-dark football T.
ten years later, as i lie in bed next to someone,
we say 'patagonia', pronouncing the last syllable 'nya'.
a big snake belly slides over the room.
a bearded lawyer makes an outline for his argument
against the volume of car commercials.
skateboarder anthony pappalardo's skate footy
makes me feel better.
it almost cures the anxiety which i couldn't earlier defeat
by eating a chicken cutlet sandwich.
