ALRIGHT

i am calling you

i am moving to the left

natural rhythm

OKAY

moon looks good today

in the morning i’m still cool

not cool anymore

FAST FOOD

during my lunch breaks

i look at the internet

think about myself

ASIAN

soft wind is blowing

i passively accept the

communist party

MONTHLY SNACK BREAK

penis cave haven

appalachian trail's good

not sure what i mean

YOU LOOK GOOD ALL THE TIME

i say i am fat

you say that you are fatter

i pet you softly

LAWN MOWER

when i was younger

i asked my father something

i ate leaves and grass

BOOKS I LIKE

the stranger bed rose

anagrams pale fire

by night in chile

MORE BOOKS I LIKE

the easter parade

the wind-up bird chronicle

a farewell to arms

PROMISE

you will call me back

every night of the week

until something stops

I WANT TO BUY A .44 MAGNUM

i want to move west

build a house, kill rattlesnakes,

fall asleep at night
