poem called "feelings come & go but teeth are forever": bring me lord a herd of teeth big as buffalo to wrap around this apple. i ask so little, really—eight hours for sleep, eight hours outside, eight hours for what i will. what i will is water, mostly hot, to sit in til i’m decent. what i won’t is die working. i won’t shut up about solace, starlings, what i read on wikipedia. i won’t give my body to science, just birds, if i’m lucky. if anyone’s listening. i won’t listen to barbarous bullshit churned out by chickenshit senators paid by a body count so high it chased god from the room, i’d rather kiss a caterpillar, kick a cop, marry moonshine. i won’t make promises i can’t keep, i can’t promise i’ll be more patient. wouldn’t you know i won’t stay up past midnight if i can help it, you wouldn’t believe what i can help. i can’t help that i won’t wait for what i have to beg for. i won’t tell my body give me up, give me quiet but no more hells. there is no better devil. i choose nothing but us & by us i mean all of it, everything i won’t call anything but holy, bring me what i want.

wrote a poem called feelings come & go but teeth are forever. now it lives online, maybe forever, at @okaydonkeymag.com
