I imagine spring arrives
black dress, thigh boots, satin glove
begrudging and disinterested
for 𝒫𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓅𝒽𝑜𝓃𝑒 has left her love.
I imagine she's kept her habits
from the dark depths of hell
blowing smoke in the face
of daffodil and bluebell.
The world opens up
with sweetness and glee
and she rolls her eyes
muttering "yeah... It's me."
— Carolina Outcrop

SOMETIMES WE WALK THE PLANK
SOMETIMES WE LICK THE HULL
SOMETIMES WE MOP THE VOMIT
OR THE SHIT OF THE SEAGULL!
AHOY!

To be frank,
it must be so confusing
to be Frank.
.
To Frank
what it means to be Frank
might be different from
what it means to be frank
but if I am to be frank
(not Frank, for I am Lucy)
perhaps the most meaningful way
for Frank… to be
might be to be as frank
as Frank can be -
authentic and unafraid
to be Frank (and/or frank).

Poets in the Halls (9/2/15)
The ghosts of poets
Old and young
Invade our house
Every single day.
They sweep the floors
With pencils made of clay
And scrub away boredom
With clever wordplay.
They make no noise
But don't fear
They don't bring bad spirits,
Only bring good beer.
Don't tremble or flee
They aren't scary or mean
They just want to come over for the night And work on their poetry.
So grab a seat
And have a listen,
Maybe they'll make your eyes glisten
From their wild imaginations.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
I want to be a rotisserie chicken
Just spinning around in an oven all day
No reason to stress and no thoughts in my brain

Toilet bowl
Here I am
Once again
At the toilet bowl
I want to vomit
But my stomach doesn't
Gastritis determined to
Give me hell
The sun is coming up
I can see the light
From the little window
In the bathroom
But I can't enjoy
A little sunrise
Because my body is rebelling
Against me.

Worm: a thing that exists
There's an astronomical aberration,
unknowable is its name.
So, for Irony's sake, say worm (not snake;
we'll keep the imagery lame).
This worm has an end, an inside and out,
rippley skin and leathery snout.
This worm is quite plump, but shrively too—
which happens to rhyme with point of view.
This worm consumes
This worm gestates
This worm emmits
This worm pulsates
yet
The cruelest lesson we learn from worm
comes from question most kind.
'Fyou're something like me
ya'ask what she seeks,
but wormy, my dear, is blind.
x'(
This poor omnipotent presence
pitifully slithers through dirt—
dirt of the mind, of space and of time
—unbothered by ideas of worth.
So next time the the sidewalk is dry
next time the coiled lay died
turn to the worm, his palace of sky
and all's left will be all right.
alternative title, God is a worman

Coffee Cup
I had a little coffee cup with open mouth and eyes
I liked to kiss her plastic lips to make me feel alive.
She warmed my hands, and warmed my heart, until the afternoon.
I held her tight and said goodbye and dropped her to her doom.
I admit, I treated her like trash, but only at the end.
If only I had realized I could fill her up again.
In memory of that time I felt bad throwing away a disposable coffee cup because the lid had a face like this :0
