maybe I’m just like you
falling in and out of love

forced heat thawing my face
waiting for the light to turn green
so I can carry on, just trying
to get to the kingdom

was spent
staring
at the
sky
while
buying
and
selling
night
dreams, the
pockets
otherwise
empty

this book
I just
bought
is my
kids
college
money
this second
bottle of
beer is
poured
from my
would-be
retirement
fund
this silence
that comes
from
watching
the television
with my
wife
indifferently
by my
side
is another
nail in
the
conjugal
coffin
this skin
creased
and
wrinkled
with
pressure
&
love
is sensitive
&
thick
&
just
American
enough.
