I won't say too much
about this poem
as I don't understand it

8/24/11

I am become two cleft lips
swallowing the red dirt
and kissing the flies

8/23/11

they make love to the body
to love the body they make

8/22/11

the lightbulb
broken on the floor
one more time
tries to hold together
its own jagged shards

8/21/11

an itch on the tree
where the snail
slides up
they abandoned the house
leaving only the two palm trees
to watch over it

8/19/11


the car sees its owner coming
and starts blinking excitedly

8/17/11


after morning rain
the smell of chicken soup

8/16/11


two abandoned telephone poles
talking to each other on the beach

8/15/11


she told me she was turned on
by mesocyclonic action
all that energy and danger
so we moved out to kansas
and watched cows chew grass
for the next twenty years

8/14/11


the panicked ants
unable to escape
the path of the ambulance

8/13/11


the tornado scans the skyline
for any sign of a trailer park

8/12/11


my cat has cat smarts
my dog has dog smarts
I think to myself
using my human smarts
