All Mine!

A subtle genius
(sartorially speaking—
and otherwise too).

Three hundred credits,
four minors and a major!
And there's more to come.

Speaking in public
"emperor's new clothes"
olive face: olive.

Weather won rites, like:
"men rape one in five women"
heel go know farther.

P.M.S. knowledge
more than the designer has,
more than the printer has.

Like the prettiest
of all the tropical birds,
she'll be turning blue.

Pi (3.14)
Golden ratio (1.6)
Her (5.89)

Go ask anyone
(who enjoys all the wrong songs):
"isn't she ugly?"

Buying her the world
would do nothing compared to
writing a letter.

I am all alone
until I feel that buzzing.
They are all alone.

Running in Lascaux
while relaxing in Nha Trang
is personified.

Even if I wed
a best-friend conglomerate,
I'd be left wanting.

Matrimony with
an entire stadium
sans polygamy.

Like if the army
was pretty and okay with
sharing the power.

When played all at once
her formula for tears scores
sixty and four points.

We were invited,
but we took a secret oath
and then turned it down.

My dear teacher of
natural conversation,
the art of 'shaka'.

Their names are picked out,
but Jasper and Exhilda's
diet is unclear.

Thank you, Obama.
Pre-existing condition:
all facial features.

Long natural hair
vital organs are still dyed
every other week.

Not eschew the things
certain to tear swell and flush—
buy, feed, and name them.

Record setting heat.
Meteorologists stunned,
scientists baffled.

Twenty Days


Knowing that shortly
you'll be flying to heaven's
not planned suicide.

Salad Days


Nine o'clock pm,
your head on my arm, eyes closed,
we look back, and laugh

2000

I'd like to spend life
like the warm nights of my youth,
but she'd be there too.

No Offense

I'd plug my phone in,
but she's in Prague, who would call?
I don't want to talk.

Love/Hate relationship

New York is a dream:
my mind is up as I sleep.
but not wandering.

It's True

We've added the "o"
so that little asterisk?
it can kiss my butt.

Starving

I'm getting cranky.
The proverbial chili's
ready to seat us.

Brazil's Mixed Race Day,

Happy Birthday Laur.

Tribute (21 of 21)

She says she hates gifts.
I hope she enjoys this one:
I'm giving her me.

Tribute (20 of 21)

She's great: we can talk
about important topics
like t-star mono.

Tribute (19 of 21)

Take my fav shoes:
I can't wear them ev'ry day.
She always matches.

Tribute (18 of 21)

What do I like most?
She gets me. That's good because
I hate explaining.

June 22, 2009


Tribute (17 of 21)

I long to be there,
so much that I do see her
only everywhere.

Tribute (16 of 21)

We get each other:
before "anco" and GB,
were DK and X.

Tribute (16.5 of 21)

Sometimes we wear plaid,
not because our idols do,
but because they did.

Tribute (15 of 21)


She is persuasive.
I'm starting to hate scrabble,
despise Pootie Tang.

Tribute (14 of 21)

Challenge: Find a girl.
Rub her face on the pavement.
Is she still this fine?

Tribute (13 of 21)


She may not be "cute,"
But she could turn the desert
to a window pane.

Tribute (12 of 21)


Fondest memories
are shared with Korver and Miles.
I hated b-ball.

Tribute (11 of 21)

Bones must be horse shoes,
muscles could be bunny feet,
blood: mutant clovers.
