The Taste of Giving Up (2013)
It ain’t like the old days,When a little small-talk,Some half-assed awkward glances,Was enough to decide I was in love with you,And whatever baggage you have waiting at claim. It used to be,Romance and summer,Hand in hand,Over-saturated orange,And smells of dried grass,Long drips of sweat,Bare assed,Lounging in sunlight, It ain’t like the old days,Now it’s desperate …
The Push (2014)
“I think I regret sharin’ that with you. Don’t know how to handle it.”“You know, they rate bridges on a hundred point scale,and you know how many points the Centennial got?”“No.”“Less than four.”“Shit.”“Walk the bridge on a rainy day, and the wind chills as the water sprays, and the bridge bends and creaks in …

The New Haiku (2015)
I can only send apologies for decisions I made rashly.You did mean something to me,I’m just cowardly and skittish.
The Most Beautiful Person I Ever Met (2013)
The most beautiful person I ever met,Was you,All of you,Every one of you. You don’t see it,But fuck,I do.
The long, long final product. (2014)
Synapses fire with a war-for-cheap chatter,that self-same discharge that plasma chars air to vacuum.and those fires keep rising,and them flood waters are rising,but you, you’re ether bound, and damn if that sound don’t just R E SOUND.‘course, me, I’ve got …
The Line (2013)
You told me forever,And you lied. But you say that doesn’t mean I can hate you. Really, what is that line?
