4 Poems

THE SHADOW OF A SURFER

He's a surfer

Beautiful

Tanning on a red Cabrio

Parked on the reinforced concrete

About 28

Rather absorbed with digestion

His room

Warm lamp light

Plants

Praise, invitations, laughter, compliments

RAVAGE DREAMING

The government has magnets

That make you late for work

And meet the wrong people

For your entire life

A boy in love is a helium ball

Down over time

Or taken out of hand

If you could buy me low and sell me high

You’d buy me after a night of ravage dreaming

And sell me once safely in love

LOVE

Love is a dog with legs on it

Love is a dog with you and me for elbows

Love is an egg with a seat on it

Love is a ghost with an egg between it

Love is an egg with a blue yolk

Love is a dog eating scrambled eggs

Love is clouds moving past each other

Love is an omelet with chains hanging out

Your favorite ingredient in trees is paper

Your favorite ingredient in trees is aloe

Your favorite ingredient in trees is shade

Your favorite ingredient in trees is shadow

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE UNLOCKED

Millennial hands millennial to millennial

Making a millennial chain

While we stand waist deep

In the substructure

There's a little thing inside you

That looks like you

That looks out your windows

When you tell betraying stories
