Neighborhood Watch
lady down the way stopped us
said she “saw a bobcat”
i says “it probably wasn’t a bobcat”
she said “lock your doors and windows”
i says “i won’t be doing that”
hurry we have to
warn the whole complex
lock your doors
and hide your kids and pets

Petrichor
rain lied to me again
said it would come last night
then whispered maybe today
as clouds rolled high
waving goodbye
i still wait
knowing the rain lies
reeds don’t ever ask for water
reeds don’t ask the wind to dance
counting shapes
forgetting colors
the best smells never last

idolatry in dollars
worshippers of wealth
power, greed
ignoring the needs
of those who bring
about their profits
soon to discover
their business is
only as successful
as the way they
treat their employees
and patrons
advice from a former
small business owner
August 9th is coming.

Take a Penny, Leave a Penny
i bet they’d ban that too
saying it “encourages loitering”
by some misread law
like hope could ever be a crime
but i still do it when i’ve got the cash
one red cent, copper bright
gleaming little beacon
like maybe it’s down to nothing
and this is just enough

Down To Sleep
under the attic
under the runes
signals broken
can still hear tunes
orbs float down
the haunted hall
faces of agony
stretch the walls
ask your questions
make your marks
circle candles
in the dark

monster energy? that’s just energy to me.

big beautiful bill, they passed it
signed snapped back elastic
promises made, promise canceled

keep on feeding, keep on feeding
and in the ink still bleeding
sharpie squeaking it bears repeating
this is exactly where they were aiming

Lessons of Absurdity
we used to throw rocks
at each other like gods in preschool
gleeful bruised
worshipping the gravity of it all
now its bang bang
semiautomatics conducting
symphonies for the deaf
the neighbors clap
someone livestreams it to mars

i don’t want to be anybody

i’ve seen what they go through
and when they’ve gone too far
i know self importance
i met self control
