the republicans

believe life begins

at conception

and ends at the moment

an AR-15 is unloaded

into the heads of school children

twenty years ago

i no longer recall
why i thought
i loved you

age 16
thinks
she invented the concept

how stubborn and
brazen i was

but i remember the monumental sex
we shouldn’t have been having
twenty years ago

in our shoe box sized apartment

which only now
lends some credibility
to the fiasco

only one tiny regret of which we will not speak

so don’t feel unappreciated
my dear
as far as legacies go
you could do worse

poetry Uncategorized

things you cannot write

i don’t regret hurting you

i do regret knowing you

you’re the reason why our kids are ugly

i don’t care for the ginsberg poem

i’m not hung up on living past forty

i enjoy a big piece of meat in all forms

i think all poetry should be free verse

vanilla should be outlawed

marijuana should be legal

rapists and pedophiles and corrupt bankers should be executed

incendiary is good

i don’t give a fuck about my cholesterol

the government should forget everything they’re doing and begin again

people should throw out their child’s video game system while they still have some semblance of a soul

put a book in your child’s hands so they read it and learn empathy

take a walk every day

own a dog

be marvelously kind even when you don’t feel like it

liquor is good

sex is good

shut up and listen regularly

.

.

i’m falling in love with you

.

.

reality tv should end

abortions should be free and considered an act of mercy

women should be paid equally

water should be cherished

insurance companies should be banished

men should not be bashed for having balls

national healthcare need be implemented

all weapons should be melted into a temple built to honor peace

dance to music daily

religion should be do it yourself
