Two newer poems

Cheese Pizza with James Taylor


“Steamroller” playing in the background

James Taylor jumping like David Lee Roth

and playing the guitar with his teeth

afraid to turn towards Jon

tears splashed on the back of my neck

we both gravitate towards the
greasy
pizza napkin

no more cheese pizza but two empty

spots for necks


Track 12


Necks rubbing in the dark

my upset stomach ruining the moment

he is finally listening

to the sounds of Simon and Garfunkel

playing Bridge Under Troubled Waters

our criss cross fingers leading towards friendships

only voices of roommates voices making hot dogs

no worries were alone together

but when track 12 is over, so is the romance
