5 POEMS


i am a needy soak
in the sunshine

what do i know
abt how to be quicker to get to the bar

my walk is wobble high
tip tip the curb w my dancing arms wild

who flails w/o me on the turn of
a day a dime a kind of flip

what do i know abt flashing lights
extacy on the El train

wicker park nightlife
eating mushrooms walking to the party

your eyes where were they
i was faced into the floor

spell my wants on my skin
w/ the color air around me

say dumb fingers dance
and they run off toward the city
