"for sale: baby shoes, never worn"
a brief remark to miami's flotsam and jetsam. andres talks to the city. animal husbandry for the fairer species. break ups and sweet revenge. elvis costello and the first girl i thought i loved. five hundred miles apart we've lived. i force poetry. instead, kneel. the divorce. the importance of circumstance, date, and time. the nuptial hour. the stench of reconciliation. the threeness of things. the threeness of things (II). the way the world is spent. why they used to preach in latin. you kiss with childish desperation. 2007 2006 2005 home |

instead, kneel. disregard the ideal of letting go. be heroine if that's what you really want. be instigation. recently, demanding, incremental, my neck, my shoulder-blades bleeding and believing in faultless, crying desperation, she comes on with effortless aggression, the love of easing brutality, of totalitarianism and reminds of how every sexual fantasy is a voyeurism and a flaw abusing and testing and feeling your edges, our ideas of explicit grossly separate. instead, give up. endure concession and know defeat. Lie prone in revelation, ignore regret. this infatuation beats rabbiteen like ageless and miscommunication she comes on like by-proxy withdrawal and sought-out banality and quickly burns up like flash-paper and neurons. she yells obsenities at her swollen jaw and her aching belly and wrestles with convention versus intuition and struggles with preconceived notions she is not at liberty to change. instead, surrender. let it be known that you no longer hold obligations be ignorant if that's what you really want, be miscellaneous. she keels over like a ship caught out at sea in a storm, writhing for footholds, internal, external, breaking vows and forgetting prayers loving conditionally. instead, she submits. without the bromidic knocking of fate, she capitulates. she acquiesces to the dirt and the floor to the beautiful uncleanliness of irresponsibility, and falls passively into the sway. that night, the current swallowed her up into its arms and blessed her skull with its tearful reprimands and she understood God and the world in its entirety, in empathy, and through rebirth and misconception, she decomposed into the ebb and flow of the dirt without a sound |
