the swallows from normandy are coming, the british

a spike drives through cheese
bone
skin
sheet
duvet

rust collects under iron bridges
frequently on his phone
he stacks free books outside
the public library

finally leaving his plate of cornbread, beans
and lettuce

swallows fear him
he's not going to stop you
from taking those books

a counter weight
rocks over the dish pit

he wants to collect your chopped head
off

he's got no tv
the swallows are his family
the books are for the swallows

in spring the house shifts
while i pee the door opens
behind me just got that feeling
i don't know how i know it

were we gathered somewhere good
how much longer?
breathing inside a bathroom
is weird but good you can hear
yourself 

water takes away the soap
anna wears the cam'ron t-shirt
pours us a shot of tequila 
and takes away the tequila
below the bar you can hear
the bottle clink but just see the nozzle

on the eastern shore of america's afternoon
all the fixtures turn chilly

a few letter magnets and a christmas card
in the dust pan
we made it all the way here

first splashes of a long night
hit the barbecue

when i got to work it was easier to let go


good tap chemicals
all top prospects

every night before bed mindkeys
deem it the flint

a special hill where lawn mowers
send chipped
'the train's empty' / 'no one is on the train'
'it's/that's because we're at the end of the platform'
'i'm following you'
'you just missed the other one'
'but that was going...'
'they both go to the same place'
'oh well / [silence]'

meebo was a chat client for the android

my friend's wife wakes up at 4am to pick lint up off the floor

his grandson is a 14 year old who makes thousands of dollars

reselling the latest nikes he buys him on the internet

this was a dream
Two ballers perch
in a tree, the shoulder
holes fit perfectly
around the wings.
Haslam attacks Jeremy
and you stretch out your
sleeve and tattoo
The first thing I do
when I leave the office
is look at the sky.
you saw it sit
near a player piano
and stare at the floor,
bleary eyed methane
rising from the arctic
permafrost saturates
the gauze wrapped
potato

the boss emailed asking if all the lens shammies disappeared. for the most part they all disappeared. i missed the 10:21am by 5 seconds. the next train at 10:40-something-am stopped locally. a local train downtown connected to the crosstown to the west side where a cvs sat on top of the subterranean terminal, inside an old bank building. they had boxes of swifter dust clothes. a hasty crowd stuff a grocery store across the avenue. twice through the kitchen cleaning accessories section. twice. the second time a box of clothes on the top shelf. the box yeilded several clothes folded and sealed clothes and waited in line. some people were inconsiderate to one another. one lady made a strange man put his items in a basket. i walked to my office on 9th avenue. sean had his dogs in eng. i did some things for some small gear. i worked in the room until 8pm. then i punched out and walked to my hotel room. it was raining very hard and it was hot. there was garbage in a drain and slowing the water flow. some bars were open. people were in the diner on 23rd and 9th. two foreign sounding accent women checked me in at the chelsea savoy. i took off my rain gear in the room. took a shit and went back downstairs for ice. i drank two 24 oz cans of beer and watched storm coverage. there was lightning outside. it seemed to be raining a little harder. i took a shower and walked back to the station around 10:45 pm. i gave eric the other key to my hotel room. christian left and i covered the room for the next few hours. sean left for his hotel room and returned around ~2 am. it started leaking in the room after sean left. gerry showed up around 3am. michael dudley returned. around 5am i went to my boss’s hotel room. i slept for 3 hours. it seemed not bad outside. i walked to the station and howie and sean were bringing food downstairs. i helped them carry food down to the car. i dried off. around 10 am gerry said that howie was stuck in a puddle. we went and pushed howie out of the puddle. we shot some sound of like a british kid or something. i ate the free lunch which was sandwiches. sean drove me home.
