(2014)
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger

Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
