About Me

I am a Rockstar Activist Goddess who was forced to enter the Witness Protection Program due to my own sheer bad-assness. Now I am forced to live the life of a lowly liquor store clerk. I fear that my secret identity may soon be compromised - my bad-assness cannot be denied. That, and stupid monologuing like this.

A beautiful poem(s?) that my friend and favorite poet (and me a lit major so that's saying something. He's on my top friends) Jacob Johanson wrote for me.
i.
all i can think about
is the momentum of your legs
whipcracking
across some poor boy's path.

that.

is gonna leave a mark.

ii.
you have made thighs
warning signs;
all the boys
dream
of traffic violations

what comes next
is an accident of planning.

iii.
the casting of fishnets
leaves them all gasping
across your deck

a variety of life
attempting to draw breath

and you
navigating by starlight.

Infatuation (poetry? prose? Even I dont know!)

Just before I plunge in I take a deep breath, right through my mouth. Late-summer air; it has that salty-organic smell of the sea and far off, someone is smoking a cigarette; I can smell it high and t...

Your promethean eyes, unseenhave found within methat pile of twigs;They have been rained on twice already yet now, somehowthey have been set alight.
