Little roadrunner walkin’ down the street. Little roadrunner stopped and talked to me. He said, ‘my friend, I’ve had a long day.’ He said, ‘the end? I’m headed that way.’ Bird where you walkin’? Bird […]

Windshield wiper wagging tail leaves him laughing without fail. Cheeseball chugging childish girl, pilot’s pausing his whole world. Paints with diamonds before bed. Newspaper tail twitches by crooked eyes. A step out the window for […]

Sunshine, laughs, and all they’d ever wanted. Bare bones mansion, could’ve sworn it was haunted. It’s living. Wrote a radio, dreamt of distance disappearing. Bare bones mansion, mirrored marvelous demons near me. Our living. Stars […]

I’m blowin’ up God’s cell for help with sleeping well. Writing angels, asking if they’ll cook me dinner tonight. Laughing while devils try to fuck with my friends. I’m shovin’ loads up my nose just […]

Dripping up the well wall, climbing toward the light, the littlest bug you ever did see, putting up a fight. Staring at the surface, smiling at the ground, the deepest gaze it ever did do, […]

Lily pads listen to the wind’s drowning whisper, wondering why not slow to a stop? Only observing, won’t say a thing. Miles away, I’m walking down the side streets, past half pipes and tongue tossed […]

Morning walk around man made water. Reflecting on words she’d spoken. Glimmering light of a smile. Gotta be ten feet quacking, flapping, floating in time. Feathers weather the weather, hanging, catch dreams together. They ride […]

Purple stops just before it rolls into a house, summer days in winter. She caught fire just that side of the gate then fluttered, more people than last year. ‘These trees, they don’t belong here,’ […]

Balcony under me. Live and see, go listening. Out of reach on the beach. Wondering if waves are free. Mountains left craters, didn’t know where to turn. Oceans ran to rivers, only to watch them […]

The morning in the attic, where life pours it’s porridge into static, sparking a flame. The shadows in the lightning, where warmth wins in winter when its biting, firing up home. Give a sign, hidden […]

Tuesday’s filled organizing the pantry in my mind. Walked to things I’d left behind. Sorted, sort of, thoughts bubbling like soda in a pale paper bag. All of the things that I once had. I’ve […]

Gently float around a little ball in space, trying to have an impact. Inspire a little taste. Up there, watching the planets. Down here, right about where I am. I’ve never done some things that […]

In deep water, clam. Bubbling liquid will be the beginning of us, we thought we had what we’re after. It seeps, calmer, slam. Sizzling bubble bursts on the air it doesn’t trust, we thought we […]

Sat on a suitcase, writing, resembling different, winter weather biting. Rode on a snowflake, painting, assembling pigments, summer sunshine fainting. The day, it leaves to find itself, the night’s just looking for answers. Owls spin […]

I was driving, headin’ east. She sat shotgun, sleepin’ right next to me. I was talkin’, whispering, She dreamed as I breathed ‘I’m pretty sure I’m in love.’ New Mexico, dirt road, we were flying. […]

Stumbling down Houdini’s hatch, a poor man says, ‘That’s the last time I’ll do that. I gotta start escaping. 1899, new century’s dancing right there in the distance. Put me in a straitjacket. I gotta […]

Wherever you are tonight, I hope you’re happy. Hope you’re filled. If you’re not, just come my way. I’ve got so much, I spill. Overflowing with love. Overflowing with things I never could get enough […]

Battery’s dead, but they’re dreaming. Talking about pumps and drugs with a best friend, It had been too long since I talked to him. Warranty’s good and I’m gleaming. Lobbies and passing by people, on […]

Rippling, crashing like clouds to the ground. Doesn’t recall if he really said that out loud. Patience, like praying for a tide’s return. Doesn’t recall if he really said that to her. Come on, bring […]

They’re on the road, he’s off his feet. He spends his day preparing feasts that he’ll survive off for a little bit less than a week. Choppin’, he’s cookin’, bastin’, wastin’ no time, hearing Hallelujah. […]

He was watching from the corner, thinkin’, ‘I don’t have enough.’ She was dancing like she used to. Singin’, ‘boy, you’re way too much.’ She was dancing by the bad door. Singin’, ‘I’ve got way […]

Her old song’s thoughts falling from his speaker, sounding a lot like his. He stood out on a balcony, speaking with the stars again, feeling like last night they listened. Wondering, scribbling when it shook […]

It flowed, you must’ve known that. That sort of wisdom, those stories will send ripples ‘til the end of time, down a southwest road, into souls, up into a still standing palace. We arrived on […]

When speaking of the world, children are ill. Must be. Brains be sick, they’re crazy. Oh, but it comes to the bodies, they gotta know right and wrong. The adults are sick, they’re crazy. They […]

Hide the flood, flip the feeling. Sail a thought, it’s so appealing. Fingers-crossed our roads collide, cause I could use your smile on this lifelike ride. Snap the snail, wind on windows. Hark, a dream, […]

A sea foam background from his dreams. Softened smile whispers just before it gleams. I’ll wreck this from the start. Little piece of why this whole thing’s art. One thing that won’t be true, even […]

Been hearing ‘some day’ my whole life now, and watching stars from afar for a while now. Been thinking about some day, a year, and maybe never. Walkin’, thinkin’ about what I thought at the […]

Flippity, drippity, skipping me, stop. Thinking then blinking then shrinking that thought. Freaking out, speaking out, leaking what’s clear. Churning then learning then burning all fear. Staring down at the line between reason and rhyme. […]

Crossword on a shirt on the center of my chest, softest letters that I’ve ever felt. Swirling abbreviations with fingertips my memory lands on a face and the spot on the corner for coffee place. […]

Stumbles around this world. Stumbling on his words Mumbling, never make it. Half unwound and so tongue tied. That way too fast or rewind so there’s never time. Stewing up a home cooked lie becomes […]

I had a best friend. His knuckles read ‘snug life’. He lived three lifetimes hopping trains and marrying ex-wives. I had a best friend. Robot painted on his side. His brilliance brought home happiness, told […]

Flip through, skipping clippings of my thoughts like an old magazine, Skipped through, flipping clippings as I thought, ‘I mean, yeah. That’s a thing. Yeah, that’s still a thing.’ Is it still thinking if I […]

Truck, Shark, Shank. Chalk, Chai, Chük. All of these thanks, they’re written for you. Truck, Shark, Shank. Chalk, Chai, Chük. All these mistakes, they weren’t aimed at you. I could’ve found deep love. I could’ve […]

That evening, silent noise. Too much thinking. Built a surfboard and headed out to sea. It was gone the following morning. If I hadn’t lost my mind, I think it’d be by my side. Disconnected. […]

I’ve got two eyes staring at me, draped in plastic perfume. She’s just talking and talking and my mind walks to you. I crossed wires that way. There are people speaking at me, convinced that […]

Slow roll through the city bumping bluegrass, got three ancient ladies riding my ass. Just pass me, it’s blasting, I’m singing. I’m just taking my time, it’s early and I’m young. I’m not surprised I’m […]

One evening, a moon lit up oceans of snow, revealing a highway where four soles would go. Time piecing tiles for water to fall on. Pictures, picture perfect. I fell right in. Like lemons on […]

Didn’t see myself sleeping once, I was so awake. Maybe it was the coffee. Maybe I just wasn’t watching. Maybe it’s the thinking that leads me to the thought that I’ll ever catch me dreaming. […]

We were wandering in our puddle just left of the middle of America. Old tunes waltzed right out the doors of your ride, in your element around this time that year. People, they were lining […]

I’ve followed you for years, around. And I’d catch up if you’d slow down. We built this thing so it would last and rode together through our whole past. Little leaf left yesterday fell off […]

He’s no genius, enigma, just fix it, he thinks. He says, ‘I think, maybe, they don’t think enough. Maybe, don’t feel enough. Always have, always will was said. Maybe just a little different and there’s […]

I believe the brighter the light, the darker the demons. Man, I’m like a moth. Take me to the evening. There’s always been something about it, been loving that light forever. Deep love without demons […]

My god is a song. Off-notes, letting demons throw down. Working toward my favorite version. My god is a song. Skipped hits, little lies for no reason. Working toward an early version. Sometimes the song […]

Light struts, bringing deep darkness brighter words. Lifetimes listening, but never heard. Who would talk so loud? Why the grand performance? Sap, soft, delicate, dangles from a tree. Sweetness seeping, still or moving. Can’t tell. […]

Way out there, crossing every line, a sun set and every color commenced their rhyme. There wasn’t a feeling of time, like we’d always been there. We don’t know what’s gonna be right, but we […]

Do you know where we left off? Backyard, just left of the neighbors place. Outside, old house, same little table I’m at now, you were gone. You went out flying. Brilliance rides the wind. Bottle […]

Leave us where we left off. Leave from where we started. Steady this ship with wild, selfless wind. Take us where we’re ready. Take, from us, that thinking. Secure this sail with warm, reckless wind. […]

Some time, in the distance, standing still, laughing about all of this. Something, this for instance. Ticking and moving out from under this. Looking back at the present, it seems we’d lost control, we didn’t […]

A little peace and quiet, let the leaves stay. No need to always be blowing them away. They’re leaves, they’re like me, they’ll come back. I gotta write my own gospel. I’ve never understood anything […]

I’m blacking out, I’m buying weird books. I’m floating on pools, I’m giving weird looks. I’m stacking up pounds, I’m shrinking like dreams. I’m tumbling inside, though balanced I seem. Tried to book a room, […]

Every morning, clumsy hands spilling coffee on my pants. Sound of music, cracking eggs. Differ calls, I never beg. Out the window, simmered light. Watching day give up the fight. Weekday evening, jump on bed. […]

Boy, where you been? Our world’s been spinnin’ without you. Boy, where you been? You know, I’ve been worried about you. Boy, where’s your head? You know, I’ve been dreamin’ about you. Boy, where’s your […]

Storyteller, find your voice, turn these pages to a choice. They’re stuck in hell without a sail, so please return and spill your tale. Life contestant, choose a door. Your two options: change or more. […]

Friendly, frightened, rocket ship gliding past the sand. Little silhouette of me sinking in my hand. Righteous raindrops find themselves, take off to the sky. Spinning pirouettes and webs, dripping as they climb. Together at […]

Bold, fragile and empty. Plastic, porcelain clowns. They cover up nothing with makeup and gowns. Shouts startle what’s calming. Molded, money and ties. Selling night nothing but self-serving lies. Loud said enough, it’ll say some […]

He beats himself up too much, but he’s tough and he doesn’t know how to punch. Walks straight lines outside, inside his mind they’re circles. Inside’s all wound up, circles. Inside walking circles. Roundabout back […]

You begin, you only listen. You begin, you haven’t missed it. You begin, you’ll be ok. Without expectations, you won’t go astray. You be young, you have some fun now. You be young, you have […]

Strutting ‘round this town of mind. Swimming down a street. Drowning in an easy smile, the happiness I see. Hanging up a frame of mind Looking down at me. Staring into distant eyes, blinking suddenly. […]

Half hundred half read books smoking on his floor. Staring, wondering how they would have ended. Doesn’t finish anything. He kicked his wheel, built it up and she wrecked it. Make way for this gem. […]

Letting go of life’s handles, she lights darkness a candle. Crawling into bed, love, brighter shades of blues, dreaming in her head. Fine, art, softly painted side. Love, floating like she’s always been there, like […]

Seventy finger table, wide eyed spark. Wait for night to smile, and then I cut the cards. Living, breathing, cold hands, fixing futures. Always figured they knew what they were doing. Always figured they’d figure […]

Life on a burner boils over, steaming a wooden spoon. Running late in a snow globe, going nowhere, right now, soon. Face in a fireplace, laughing at myths as they freeze. Things we once believed. […]

Leon’s singing on shining. Nina sprinkles soul while I’m gliding by my oven, the way she’s been doing it for years. Scratching through that stereo. So I sing back, again. Let you find your freedom. […]

Blasted off for at least two years. My rocket, crafted sans landing gear. Countdown, fuse and watch it go. Slow motion fireworks show. Crawling light cannot explode. Learning to embrace embracing my crazy. Rearranging. To […]

To see the brightest eyes of your very best friend. To wait for them at the airport again. Faywood Springs, the happiest you’ve ever been. Always dug those pants. Always dug the way you dance. […]

Thought I’d take some time today to catch some sunshine. Take it off, really feel it. Feels good to really feel it. Time leaves answers to questions that nobody’s ever thought to ask. Time, bring […]

Like leaves leave, Thursday evening, left wondering. The next me. Almost evening, day is wondering. Why does anything exist? Why does anything happen? Songs sing silently, inside of me. Space falls from the sky all […]

She was standing there, eyeing me down, smiling in the corner. Looking back, I should’ve warned her that I leave myself at times. Looking back, I think I did. I always saw all this coming. […]

Second story. First story from this second story balcony. I don’t speak this language. Middle seat, balanced anguish, before I landed. Right by the beach. Wrong turns down memory lane on this balcony. I can’t […]

Clouds steeped in puddles, the sun was losing steam. Trees were losing focus, like roots chasing a dream. Fire was in the water, old sand was way up high. Footprints in the distance, I looked […]
