about

Doors open
Thrusting some lemon tinted, bright light into your eyes
That sours them to tears
The ornamental fog
Cementing the ground
Begins to disperse as a mere flood
of voices
of melodies of languages you've never heard
pass you by
None of them are alone
You're the first in line
Waiting
You ask one of the awkwardly dressed pairs
As they exit
Where they were coming from
You are returned the same puzzled look
You're wondering
How long it took
To get here
They're feeling
You're far too late
As you now wait
For the generations
To exit
The train

about

A Happy Gatsby Minneapolis, Minnesota

So, I’m watching and dreaming
Of a car
That is not yours
And you’re drinking milk
From our neighbors skulls
But your bones are strong
Then you’re clutching all those
Winter coats
Because the calcium doesn’t insulate
And I’ll wait for the day
When you no longer
Feel ashamed
