About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Patent leather shoes wink
and reflect
an organ while he prays
for his soul
on me like a rosary.

At 6 o'clock, the pipes
swell with air and septuplet
notes slide out fat,
to single-file drop
under the floor.

The little tailor alone swats
bravely as they fall, but
to me hidden
he dances a hallelujah
flawlessly.

In my corner, the fish
belly shallows ripple
as an arm thrusts, a vase knocks,
and my hand's bones flux
in light filigreed with dust.

my new favorite word is phthalo green. if i try really hard, i can make my kitchen faucet stop leaking, but i'm usually not strong or patient enough. magnets, neurological articles, and the harlem renaissance are all exciting to me. i wish i could see ghosts.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


someone who's funnier than they think they are.
someone who's smarter than they think they are.
and someone who owns a pinball machine that doesn't need quarters.

flight

a yellow line tire-weak, infirm. large breathes a diesel cab: "now, do it now" next lane over. the mirror keeps unformed lights and road uniform. family silhouettes streak the wet asphalt, and at the ...
