Fueling Ourselves I recycled, I freecycled, I bicycled I’m feminist. I’m socialist. I’m fucking pissed I tried religion. I tried sedition. I signed petitions. I made my mission to have suspicion of politicians. I told Ed to say. LGBTTQQIAA. Instead of gay. Tried meditation, tried levitation, tried alcohol. Ism. I tried to sympathize. I tried to criticize. I cut way back on fries. I tried anxiety. I tried sobriety. I tried hypocrisy. I vilified, was mortified, tried suicide. I voted I am left wing, it is my thing, to fix everything

Angry Candy I remember I met her wiping down the bar With some blowhard brotard who asked her to his car She had an M sixteen and her own zine and she Extracted his spleen without an X-Ray machine Electric lime chiffon guitar Convertible black lace sports car White leather icing on spice cake Jalapeno cherry on a shake She was a girl from Normal but didn’t fit in She wasn’t beige or bland, she wasn’t even thin She was a rainbow fashionista statuesque Drove a pink motorcycle but worked at a desk   Angry candy red silk bass amp Volcano blue neon heat lamp Black licorice barbed-wire thong Steamed cream hot espresso-shot strong I blurted out I like your style even clothes She spat sized up my mind and wrinkled up her nose I asked is that your hair or a solar flare-up She put her shades on and put her nose and hair up Don’t take offense and like mace my face but ahem You cool cruel beauty cause mayhem in my brainstem Ultra-violet lioness Skin as juicy as flesh peaches Kisses dangerous as napalm Baby you’re a ticking sex bomb Though she ruled derby rinks in seventeen precincts I sweated pages of ink and asked to lip sync

Ivy Please Now I’m a punk star I had to crawl far My sad and broken way DIY MFA to AA My indebted ass Now is middle class Back from the ledge’s edge Bought a house and made my wife a pledge For my crumb of pie Live a happy lie Pretend I only want To earn and spend and eat and shit and die Something went amiss When a youngish miss Started sending to my wife Love texts bent to wreck our home and life Ivy please! Ivy please!  Ivy please! Stop freeze desist and cease Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! You’re a fatal disease   Ivy’s thirty-one Slept with just the one Man she married whose kids She then carried her life is still unbegun Pretty mild mouse Trapped unhappy spouse Used to be in a band Got minivanned now she’s bored and bland Hearts and emojis Saccharine selfies Acronyms OOXX Dribbling lazy layup score some sex Counterfeit pretense All your innocence     If you’re gonna flirt then Admit you’re inflicting vicious hurt Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! I exist! Feel unease! Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! You listless little sleaze Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! Your texts are stinging bees Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! Stop climbing up my trees Insecure and cold Afraid, getting old I’ve eaten slum and sky This’ll stay my family till I die If you cheat you’re gone Your shit on the lawn The life you’re gonna get Pain divorce match dot com place your bet I’ve smoked many miles I’m no pile of smiles An intermittent jerk Committed to make my marriage work   Shove your dumb smart phone Back off of my home Know no millennial Gets to wreck my semicentennial    Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! Love’s not your expertise Ivy please! Ivy please! Ivy please! Log off and feel the breeze

Missing Cat his cat’s been gone for far too long now he wanders round town like a drunk calling her name La Maga! La Maga! La Maga! he called the pound taped signs all around now he’s crouching outside on your lawn shouting her name La Maga! La Maga! La Maga! white with black rings the sweetest thing now he’s swinging from lamppost to lamppost singing her name La Maga! La Maga! La Maga! she ne’er came home he smashed his phone now he’s prowling the parking lot rain moaning her name
