You put your mouth around my mouth like Disney Think of all the spit we’ve shared How can anything be called romantic When you wipe your face on my leg I love that vulgar gesture We don’t have to call it anything The sun will come up I will forget my underwear Everything can be forgotten
Horses Poem
I am like a carrier pigeon when I am smiling When I am eating your liver behind a glass door You could crush me like a pile of horses But you act like two squirrels fighting over a nut And you are too difficult
City Poem
The city is like a photograph of a painting of a city Some days it is not very hard But sometimes it is like being part of a vast system Where there is no one to talk to The cat is licking its dick politely I guess The rain barks like a scary dog The moon has never seemed so full of itself I understand this is a life of mediocrity I have prepared in every possible way
