the hospital

every morning
there is a private hospital
i walk by

and
there is a man
who stands out on the balcony

a young man
clad in pale hospital blue

with a plastic shower cap
on his head

he stands there
with his i.v. strung up beside him
kinda leaning against the stand
with one hand

and smokes

this morning
as i walked by
he said

how ya doing

kinda like maybe
he thought we were in a nightclub

laundry

i think i have been drip-drying
the best parts of my personality
into something quieter

too quiet

white sheets
squeaky clean

white and dry

it is time for the red, sequined
party dress

and the spiked

lemonade

cock·suck·er     
n. Vulgar Slang

A mean or despicable person.

birthdays

birthdays
are never quite what they would seem
someone always
pops out of the woodwork

in a cloud of smoke

and showers love down

i am not joking
only hold wood

because this one
has got a hose

and isn't afraid to use it

i think my boyfriend

might show up late
for our wedding

red things

there is something singing
and flinging me across the room
when i am entrenched in red

flocking

i love red cabinets, hats and mittens

love red dread and the warmth
of the fire

when you are somewhere
in the room

the little things

i wanted to create a blog
which would be a companion to my website

not so much because my website would get lonely
but because

i wanted to unveil
its subconcious meanderings
