PINCH HIM

those are the fun ones
your baby is crying
you forgot that there are things baking

i took a nap and had a dream
but now i am just sweaty
now i am awake

i like to put pepper on boring
say i am zinging it
and tell people to drink a glass of milk

this is a poem
there are people talking about comic books
not comics like comedians

i wanted to take acid
and go to Hemingway's grave
the last time i was in Idaho

your hands are too small
put them in water
give them sun

i am horrible
i hide all of my troubles
in my lungs and stomach

my eyes are full of sky parts
or thats what i tell them
when i can't stop lying
