With Mr Jones: Collaborations--'11

(Line for line… tit for tat.) 1. My house is kind of small but bigger than my kitchen And in my kitchen there’s a lamp that’s bigger than my fist Please don’t touch the dog’s food bowl only I touch the food bowl But really I know I shouldn’t only my dog touches the food bowl What an *******. We should have never bought that dog and we never should have mentioned that lamp, or that fist. They were completely irrelevant to everything else. I’m going to have to scrap this one. 2. I started to write the poem then this happened. And now this is happening to that happening. I happen to be happening upon a happening. just like every other happening. Sometimes poems happen, often after something else happens I just happened to happen upon a happenstance happening then I started to write the poem. 3. It’s either spaghetti or meatballs that go with warm vodka Either would probably fit in the freezer at the store. Maybe they’d even fit in a cold and dim motel in Ohio. But where would I find A fork? Maybe I could find one In that motel. Goodbye my dearest washcloth. You were good at scrubbing.
