    Misfit Kid Summer

    I look at the empty kiddie pool in my backyard

    In the Midwest summer

    My friends used to come to my house

    So they could all get in it,

    But they don’t like to swim much anymore

     

  • lost packages

    her mail and packages

    stacked up

    like she’s gone on vacation

    like she’ll be back to pick it up

    i bet if the postman knew

    that the house is forever empty

    he would throw it away

    like it meant nothing

  • Yesterday

    yesterday 
    to you i was nine years old 
    with a black hurley hat 
    that never left my head 
    the hat that you would take 
    and try to hold it far above 
    my reach knowing i could never get it 

  • ripples

    where do ripples come from

    i wonder

    these little 

    escalating things 

    perhaps they come from

    the speed boat 

    a few paces out 

    sharp short

    and jagged 

    or maybe
