In the coldest of lands
We visited our summer home, occasionally, to heat it up.
So that the potatoes in the cellar don't freeze.

Cosmopolitan
Many photographs in vanity magazines
are not genuine;
they are often enhanced digitally by a
process called "touching up"
Is it people we're looking at?

Chicken for Dinner
I, me, will stitch a needle through, then around
your dead locked elbow and the grinding sound
it makes as I put the needle through, you.
My friend, a cannibal named Johnny Riggs
Says it is
A bit of a tough case with you
Even with your arm cooking in the stew
STAY ALIVE, I know, it hurtsyouwantodie
But I respect you
Johnny Riggs also said that splitting your elbow
Will be harder than splitting a drumstick from a thigh bone
But I suppose I'm strong enough and this:
The steamy vegetable broth
will soften the cartilage in your arm
and give it juicy flavor

Fucking Assholes
Slick black tentacles and a lecture on psychology
disgust my shaken view: a hard gelled morning hairstyle
crafted by an insolent fucker walking down the hall way
Pardon my crudeness, I don't even know this kid
But I've been shaken far too often in the past
those god damn tentacles squeezed the happiness out of me
like toothpaste out of a rusted canister

It's All There
You look at an Afghan meadow
Poppies supplying chemical needs
You look at a mangled fetus
In the gutter of a Detroit street
You look for the fireworks during an intimate kiss
Then you finally see that...
It's all there
It's all there is
