2013

200 vertical
feet of sand

I climbed
a mulberry tree

and shook
the berries

into the small
pond below.

The birds
went wild.

Dogs came
from the east

and brought
news friends,

but what
are friends for?

I got my
heart ejected

with a snake
and started

running
I surfed once

and buried
a mermaid

swimmin
with women

I ended up
in southern

Indiana at
Turkey run

my eyes
where like

tennis balls
I took a bite

out of acceptance
with a silver spoon

and my
teeth cracked out

I shoveled mountains
of mulch

in preparation
for the new year

my work was hard,
but what

will this capital bring?
