For our first date,I’d like to write you poetry. I’d like to wax diction about the shape of your breath,to list endlessly the particulars of your molars,but I’d bet those’re better saved. No, I’d like to write first, some poetry. I’ll chat endless about active syntax,or walk you through the forest’s longest path;just to see …

     you are a beautiful women in a hazy bar,cigarette smoke and spirit fumes lazily circle your every movement. You’ve got this whole room eating their own fingers.    ‘n I ain’t different.       Been writing you indifferent lyrics,     ‘n you’ve just laughed that earth shaking low register chuckle of yours, more jetengine than Audry Hepburn,  more hurricane than …

The goslings have got their flight feathers in.You can see them in those not yet flights sometimes.Soon the scene’s gonna change,you’ve got Dogs Eyes licking through those lyrics         in that guitar bawl, minor tone reverb, big blustery Wye Oak sound.Taking those first few flaps,we gonna soar, or we gonna be sore?That one-two-ohnoican’tdoit heave. …

Half the days I want a truck,it’s just to sleep in the bed,under the stars,after driving as far as I can until my eyes won’t anymore.                I suppose you can come too.

Week yet ‘til payday.Been good, ‘n spent all my cash on bills and food.    but now the beer’s gone,    and the whiskey ain’t got much left.                                             that teeth-tug way you pulled away,                                            with that …
