i. strange tanlines

days i forget my watch
i spend a lot of time
looking at a bare wrist
and pretending i had
some unique exotic
invisible dermatitis

ii. king

the first time i held
a hand-sized place on your back
i moved your skin a centimetre
to the left of pressing muscle, bone;

you felt like a cat
too comfortable to abdicate the sofa
for the fireplace but
considering it

iii. warning

his ego an inflatable toy
was not to be confused
for a life-saving device

iv.

i fell asleep
with a psychology textbook on my chest
not because it was boring;
i just happened to be beneath it and tired
at the same time.

a similar event occurred
at the wheel of a car
and lord knows how dangerous
it can be to navigate rush hour
with Freud pressing against you
quietly asserting just how much
you'd like to fuck your mother.

v. as seen on t.v.

nothing's even on between
3 and 7am unless you
count the easy-payment
ass-definers compressed between
the thighs of some
suspiciously enthusiastic mall-goer
who probably got a free one for
his trouble that collects dust
in a room somberly glowing
with a telelvision on just as late

vi. growing up

just when did a funny look
replace a put-on small anxiety
for wheredidyougo
behind the peekaboo?

vii.  i'm not even really adopted

but my dead biological father
sat up to say thank you in Russian
after i'd stabbed him twelve cold times
in a room where my mother
had really come to ask for it this time

and i remember waking up
never having felt so angry
for being born, yet
forgetting my motive.
haven't been on DEVart in a long time, but felt like posting some new stuff without submitting 7 times (ugh!) so it's all here. enjoy.
