Small Towns at Sunset
I go biking near dusk, when the sun skims the surface of the horizon and the owls begin to hoot and the bugs begin to bite.

Kind Cruel God
Waking up to you
grinning down at me
your long, golden hair falling off your shoulders,
I close my eyes
block out your face with my hand

The Fall of the Education System
Crunch crunch
Walking to school
with the cool
air nipping,
not yet biting,
at exposed skin
leaving it red to match

Little Girl, Little Girl
Little girl, little girl
Why’ve you got boy’s hair?
Why’ve you got weird sentences
spilling from your mouth
And why’ve you got the wrong words

Misuse of Music
Simple sweetness is this melody,
a single tear of destiny that betrays its maker,
Slipping down off a nose
And onto red, red clothes
that were white once.

Don't I?
I turn away from them and gaze out the window.
The clouds gather in large gray clumps across the sky.
Painting everything below them in shades of gray.
My mind wanders to the only place I don’t ever want to go again.

Its Not All Men
“It's not all men”
They sayAnd no maybe it's not
But if there's a shark
Deep in the water
Do you dive in and wait

When I'd Go
They all say they'd visit dinosaurs
go back and dig for gold
meet their great-great-great grandparents
be around when electricity was discovered.
When the question is asked

The Chaotic Misdemeanors of Bluejay One
A green tea bag is baking cold out on my porch
A piece of gray rock from the quarry wanted to be torched
Whipped cream pecks your cheeks with specks and flecks of blue

The trail in the sky
Heat
Coming down from above
The sun stands still
A yellow trail blaze in the sky
Leading me forward
Into its light
Its rays land, dead grass, yellowing brown leaves
Dark hair on a head
