The Armada

Tether,
Untightened
with frugality
The message. 

Pounce.
Patter.
Or none of the
Above.

Nontheless,
The war room
should receive
this visit.

Principles of a Marine

Endings, 
Unwrap these
Crimsons. 

Leaves falling
Soon and I am 
Not the Catcher. 

But you, you
Sports Fan, 
Like the 
Lover chases
His tail, now. 

I do. 

And I pray.

Proposition 8

In the back of bars, 
Places my soul Shouldn't
Be. 

But isn't this an 
Altar, just like the 
One you worship? 

Differences and 
Similarities are 
One in the same. 

Ignominy, and I 
Smug your face
as you do mine. 

Soon we'll waste
Away and forget 
We even had this
Ridiculous Discourse.

Premature Ejaculation

Electric shock. 
And so were those
Winter days. 

Hysterical, practical
And our supplements
To fight daily 
Loneliness. 

Mustard in her
Nails made shooting
in the Street far worse. 

A cylindrical whirlwind
of your suitcase
as you're weight lifting
And I'm drinking and 
So you are you and 
We're passing out now. 

I spilled my wine on
the bar. On purpose. 

And I wished my father
Was there.

Kickball

In your spectacles, 
Should I try them on. 

I see more than I 
Want, what I need
Is your labido. 

Caressing my 
Insides are you 
Family Man. 

And worshipping
Something unobtainable
Is my consolation prize. 

Yet, I always end up
Taking last place.

Suicide Note

Undo this
And quickly. 

Razors, the cut, 
The Edge, bleeding
Endlessly. 

I smiled because
Heaven took you 
from me. 

And I am not
far behind.

Sophomore Year

I, in my excitement, 
was waiting for 
That bootstrap.

And with baseball on 
Your mind, I tried
to seduce you with 
Theater. 

Secret dressing 
Room call. Me, you
and the Priest.

I saw between
Your legs as the
Makeup faded and I 
was never
Happier.

And now, matrimony,
a patriarch and
a stained Buddha
Statue I retreat to 
The Garden.

Taxi Cab

Its easier than
You thought. 

Tacos in hand and
All. But I won't
Eat your flavor
as you are so
Ridiculous. 

I took a taxi
And it was 
Wondrous,
Traveling
and Undying

Like a zombie
without restraint. 

I come undone.

5th Grade Crush

Strange, 
But I've seen you
Everywhere lately. 

Caramel colored
Girls, either you
or your daughter.

I'm not quite
Sure. 

But I laugh inside. 

The Challenger may 
Have exploded, but 
We didn't.

The cassette tapes
May have been lost. 

But not the smiles, 
the cupcakes, 
the ruler, 
and what was most important.

To Death Do Us Part

Oops. You
Impregnated
My mouth and
Not your wife. 

Easy, with a 
wall between 
Us. 

Liars the 
Devil makes of
All us. 

And I followed
Your Mexico, 
With a white 
Dress and Vows
You gave me

That never 
Were.
