I remember the day all
This whistle talk
became just solid dog
A regular morning, my own boogers
Under my feet
as I heat the milk
Look at photos of Hatchet Face
Kim McGuire, who died at sixty
Skeletal
She self-published
A book about Katrina,
her skin a shade of teeth
Hey do that ugly
Face again Kim.

Why I don’t know, dart outside the lipliner
Smiling at a party, cartoon blood
Johnny Depp, it’s News
John Waters says Leslie Van Houton is well read, intelligent
It’s okay to remember feelings first, then thoughts
Then what happened: OSU student said I choose love
It won’t be easy. Tomorrow is a day of
Trepidation
