"Conversations with a Daughter: Creeps"



Time creeps
my beautiful, clever, daughter 

Weirdos are us

There's that beautiful laugh,

Who wants to

Damn girl,
If you need some grease,
Why can't you just
Squeak a little,

Halloween Memories
You didn't go out and just buy a costume
at least not when I was growing up.
You had to be more inventive
than just going out to shop.

I learned that simple things 
can make wonderful costumes, too.
I've...

Uppity Darkie


Light minded people say I’m an uppity darkie
They color me bad, 
with a black face, felt pen Sharpie
Vanilla voices downright don’t like

They say I’m way too uppity,
don’t know what...

Arch my back up slightly off the wooden floor,
shards of brown glass pop off my...

beneath the brush and thistle
of a desolate landscape of patchwork failures,

blood thirsty appetites favored

Slick but imaginatively unkempt,
disguised as someone...
