Packed tight a cotton pressure
Mouth pink mouth insulation
Tension calls a line
This this volume and container and contents
Continents call
Callous calls
Cats on a bed
Birds, et cetera
The river before the tea
The mystic and the mystic’s pants
Will be will be

You Can’t Play Them All
Like catch and release
Like Python is a language
Like all the boats and all the people
Like a pickup truck rigged with an awkward load
Like a housecat most times
What melts or breaks or banks or brands
And so
Like Python is a language
Like all the boats and all the people
Like a pickup truck rigged with an awkward load
Like a housecat most times
What melts or breaks or banks or brands
And so
Because the Night Belongs
Can an aging robot shake off rust?
Ashes walking backwards and the sunlight
What’s worth what weighs what’s wending while
The shadows descend on that childhood memory
All the holes filling up with all the water
Grind it to grout
Grieve
Eat better and again
Eat better
Ashes walking backwards and the sunlight
What’s worth what weighs what’s wending while
The shadows descend on that childhood memory
All the holes filling up with all the water
Grind it to grout
Grieve
Eat better and again
Eat better

Where Do All Our Summer Jams Go When Summer Is Gone
It felt like September out there today
Don’t get me wrong
September is my favorite month
Don’t get me wrong

I’m a Fool for Your
Empty words and fading evenings
The places we find
Found and foundering and foundries
Sound sundries sever sounding
Subdued sunsets and lounges
Coast to coast to coast
Everything downhill
Everything solar-powered and wind-powered
Chimes and jetties and jetsam
Same same same
Simpers

I WANT TO BE HOOOOOOOME
I was born on a naval airbase in Falmouth, MA on the cape. My dad was a Marine. You always are a Marine when you’re a Marine until you’ve passed than then you were a Marine.
That’s like 56 miles from here, but I’m not home.
I lived on South Weymouth Naval Airbase, also on Mass, from 2 to like 5 — I’m too tired to Google whether that base is closed or not. I saw Close Encounters and Star Wars there. My mom got this cool turkey trophy for bowling a turkey in her league. A kid bit me in the eye and got held back from kindergarten — I pushed him off the top of the jungle gym when he bit me. The Blizzard of 76 was amazing. I went under a moving car riding on a skateboard on my belly. My mom’s friend gave me my first drag of a cigarette. I survived both of these.
Then we were in East Bridgewater until I was 11 or 12. I had some good friends there — and actually stayed with one of them for the summer past when we moved to Virginia.
I lived in Sterling, VA until I went to college. High school was high school and I spent a lot of time going between crowds, avoiding violence and trying to get with the ladies. Moderate success on all fronts. I wrestled in high school and developed this big thick neck in the process that would atrophy over four years of college.
I’m too worn out today to see all this through, but suffice to say Home is a weird and complicated thing for me.
After 15 years, maybe Baltimore is the first hometown I’ve ever felt. Maybe not.
See you soon.

The Murmur Indoors
Like dust and corners
A draft, your skin, the people that came after
Softly treading prior-trampled undergrowth
The silent work of sheep in pasture
The path stars etch into the sky
Everywhere, eyelids

Thirteen Is on the Way to Twelve
Colors change from time to place
Falling asleep is just something you gotta do
Lichen to ferns to trees to grass both like and unlike the way Spring becomes Summer
Like unlike dislike dormant
We place are heads so many places, damn
All the things you hide until some day it just doesn’t matter
All the things in plain sight and all the planes and more
You feel time slipping away, but that’s a trick
You are here. You are here. You are here
Falling asleep is just something you gotta do
Lichen to ferns to trees to grass both like and unlike the way Spring becomes Summer
Like unlike dislike dormant
We place are heads so many places, damn
All the things you hide until some day it just doesn’t matter
All the things in plain sight and all the planes and more
You feel time slipping away, but that’s a trick
You are here. You are here. You are here
