Pregnant

            —for Scott

When pimpin’ prunes stress but can’t imagine

What delayed layman’s terms waste time

Please mother please tell me the directions

To any open airport

Fuck in carnival car

Sun’s injured

Sound engine

Listing your brain

Listening your breast

Deep cervical empty

You curl your back to me you are so sweet

Send the roots further away on the pier

---

Greens

            —for Theron

Dreams in fast forward a dream looking one way

Stinks up the peace on foot and then

Presents shoes in heaven and horses from stock

Then we beat to peace where last

I am a pile of peace

You are the sword

You make a sensible swollen need

Your mouth and I diminished

---

Steam over Spoon

            —for Rachel

You

Traffic

And car

Girls

Mountains in the world

My stomach cheats lava cake blue

Blue new phone number will find

Bundled up phone baby

Spoons send in birthday cake for

You
