dear person,

as you know, we have melted. i don't know.
i feel okay. 

the moon looks like a fingernail, i'm not tired, lonely, cold, broke, or unemployed. 

my ipod has full battery.

it's not that these things represent my essence most,
it's that there is something inside of me that wants
me to expand.

i'd reinsulate the rotted supports.
i don't know why i was there in the first place.
termites, and i ignored them.

please return. the family thinks of you. 
i know just how hungry you are.

a marching band dapples just such unknown spaces
their pulse in the scientific avenues
is that their cities create artificial air
certain artists intuitively rain in these willow orchards
while turbines exhaust oxygen into the low level tunnels

the crickets feel it's snowing
a hollow sound comes through the bed
the city goes black
the roof hears dreary people

rippling through the elevated trains

slashes fall that skid

slits of coconut milk

unknown giraffe vision

reacts within the zoo
already scraped away from the shutters

why do they rattle affirming or improve?
the underworld efferent by the subway
no, the real world.

my baby is in quotations.
it's just that it's so late 
and stupid and scary
that i couldn't say anything
so i'll close the brief case (i think)
and there's some road zipping by
the lights are still showing
the underworld

practicing sentence structure resurfaces the subjective
i discovered my philosophy black bear in the canopy

steep graded we're played out

i look at my journal and feel anger garbage
for the feeling of throwing something out
my poem, with the bear mauling us, fails.

i wrote it once, in my journal and didn't work on it.

feeling tired so i don't have to think is good.

making myself tired by thinking is good.

i keep getting interrupted because i'm at work.

if i weren't at work i'd do something to stop the interruptions.

i'm going to spend time getting interruptions out of the way.
