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 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 |

Two new poems
The Doors
Room full of doors
Each door is shaped differently
One door is shaped like lust
One door is shaped like love
Grabbing towards love I hesitate
Lust is so intriguing
So many colors for such a short period
Just a peek inside
Visions of bodies moving up and down
Lips intersect with other lips
On the far wall is a plaque
“No Love No Lust”
Only filtered sounds of Barry White move around
Shutting the door I had to wonder
Lust will always be
Love door opens slightly
The air smells like fresh rain drops
Sounds of Barry Manilow pound through the atmosphere
So many colors of pinks and whites
There are no bodies
Love seems so dull without different colors
Vanilla is the key smell
Vanilla perfume, Vanilla cupcakes and Vanilla sofas
Looking further into love
Only cardboard cut outs of hearts
Petting a puppy on a pillow
A small cut appears
Is it true?
The cliché of love hurts
Maybe lust was the way to go
DJ’s vs. Blockbusters
Garbage Pail Kids the movie is sitting in comedy
Where is Pee Wee’s Big Adventure?
Chairy and Globy need to be in my heart
Action and Adventure section is full of biceps and hair gel
But the romance section should be called Hugh Grant
Moving up the aisle and seeing crunch bars and Laffy Taffy
My eyes meet
Romeo, I am your Juliet
DJ’s video and Blockbuster hates us being together
Obviously Romeo and Juliet turn out great
Married with children
Wait a minute, what?

One boy four poems
Gummy worms piling on the dinner plate
fresh glass of beer bubbling with sounds of pops
pieces of beards falling down to the ground
glass tables viewed from around the corner
four people playing a zombie game
wanna join?
Track 12
Rubbing necks in the dark
Upset stomach ruining the moment
Jon is finally listening
To the sounds of Simon and Garfunkel
When track 12 is over, so is the romance
Motorists
Yelling at passing motorists
Walk in the cross walk
Wanna get hit by two yelling motorists
Keep on walking
Because one day I'll be the pedestrian
getting hit by you
Bathrooms Open
Tapping my fingers slowly on a notebook
I think I'm almost done
Done waiting for an opening
talking to fellow bed wetters
loud thump
bathrooms open

Newer poems
Balding chocolate man looking at me
tie died purple alien shirt
zero amount of sleep
day glow friend moving
one pillow for two heads
uncomfortable empty cranberry juice
air smells like moldy bread
slammed door
cold white van
all alone crying
my eyes see you
brand new you
chocolate with a side of prescription
no digits in hand
wait your turn
only two years
dark like turns into fire
oven filled with screams
my first impression
went so well
About ten shots
About ten shots shot down
wicker basket filled to the top
spilling over into gray morsels
a lifeless body sunk in the pollution
only seconds to revive
drive within seconds into brown bath water
A mother's concern about to come true
Aloofa sponge squished in hand
pouring down each birth mark
eyes rolled back in head
no response
laughing is not an option
cleaning the mess with an open eye
dribbling in embarrassment
white towels changed
Picking up comedy through a lens
the audience sees a black man and a white man
discussing politics would be unfair
conversations of Saddam Hussein's sex life
Satan and Saddam butt fucking
no image beforehand
only a girl who doesn't commit
Raw Meat
Flipping raw meat in the air
the uniforms glowing
a field of chest hair popping out
stop turning me on
boy with Ben Savage hair
Greasy Salt Shakers
Greasy salt shakers
moldy brown teeth
side salads with fingertips
he is touching my v-line from behind
the trash is overflowing
eat the feta cheese
because real men have hair
DSLs
He has DSLs
The shape of spicy chicken
smiles from red hair
eating cold chicken strips
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise flipped on tee shirts
multiple coffee stains on necks
the morning crew kissing
with observation from
John Travolta and a missing ear

Poke
Left alone with the boy I crush
A bunk bed
Room for one more
We share the child size bed
The silence is roommate
Squeaking from above
Sounds like masturbation
Curious of what is above
I feel a poke
From behind
Just touch it
Five seconds
Really, only five seconds
Smiles burst through my fingers
What will happen tomorrow?
You poke me
But is it a true poke
A smile so big
With the best eyebrows
Each brow sharpened by Jack Nicholson
Mike gives me faith in future pokes
