EMOTION CASINO
welcome to your life
your face changes as you watch
outside the frame
among the distractions
you are right now
a body prone to emotion
Google Maps
attraction
you never wanted airtight logic
now more than blue
the only constant you’ve known
you’ve watched from other rooms
you were an animal
out circling the thing
at the end of the world
with no end
POEM ON DRUGS
I am not a desirable woman
I am a very real person
in a glow of messages
I am uncultured as my thoughts
they are so glossy & blank sometimes
the worst poems contain only one idea
I was told
I have OCD
just watching myself die
all those times
like Calypso I kept throwing myself
from the rocks
I kept coming back
I’m here now
& thru the window’s grey tinge
I see the bluest fields
TROMPE L’OEIL IN ULTRASUEDE
I can’t stop thinking
last week I tuned-in
I grew closer to god, ethereal
downwind of some guy’s vape
day-by-day
I zone out
the sound of a river
trees, their shadows
asleep on my sofa
I’m much happier
underneath my sad vest
let me show you the new of me
all this roadside
fields & fields & fields
& everything arriving
