about

We often look back
As the first time it is seen
You’re gradually blinded, you’re instantly overwhelmed
By the stench of smoke
Lost in a sea of thunder
You can’t bare to remove your eyes from the sky
As it crackles with the laughter of those that engineered it
We’re predisposed to revisit this mess
These pictures
Dance against
The snow
Fluttering down the hillside
Until they become one
We light these bottle rockets
Underneath the unending circle of pines
No one but us can see
The fireworks therapy
Those godlike glowing colors
She once applauded
We’re stuck here now
Looking back
Hands numb
Hearts empty
Staring at the sky we engineered

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
