Five Poems

Brothers

sunset blazes
oh wait
a house on fire
mom just
found your drugs
in tied up
dog poop bags
i drive out
to grandpa's barn
where cows
stare at taurus
no one left
hurting my ears
 

Superheroes

i wake each morning
having not saved the world

sadness is a plastic knife
that can't cut chicken
genitals sticky
from ass last night
that was almost obligatory

it's easy to want to die
then i remember i'm human
 

Mental Illness 

exposure therapy sucks

i watch law and order
have a panic attack 
in a porta-potty
at the renaissance festival

elf ears turn me on
 

Sunday

there's an end to this

by that i mean everything

how tragic

not yet though

tomorrow is what garfield
hates most of all
 

Good Morning

whiskey in my coffee
partly clothed
watching horror movies
we could be so much worse
reincarnated flies
let's hold ourselves instead
like glass art
and if you're reading this
you can too dude
