lucky!

generally

i am a lucky person
considering what i have gotten away with
in my life

but
i have this theory
about luck

and that is
you are most lucky when
you don't think about luck

and it is like a curse of lucidity
in that

it vanishes when you pinpoint it
and reappears

when you are blurred and are distracted

at least this is how it works
for me

favorite food

my favorite food is cake mix.

butterflies

butterflies taste with their feet
and i can feel it in my feet when
i taste something

delicious

word of the day: effulgence

effulgence, noun:
The state of being bright and radiant; splendor; brilliance.

fire

sometimes i think you are on fire

real fire

like
inside some kind of meteor
flames lick the interior
of your palms

you hands are hot pockets of embers
your mouth is made of red coals
you are brimming

with steam and red lava

i want to warm my bones
near your oceans of smoke

in a land where there is no noise

falling in love

there are so many little things
to fall in love with
in a day

like

strangers in party hats



the names of your friends in graffiti



magic shops



and disco balls



and what about your very own feet
watching tv

especially when you are in a room
closely resembling

a prison cell

making out

making out is one of my all time favorite
things to do

it is good like desert but
you rarely get a stomach ache and
it is similar to dreaming
so

you need to keep your eyes very closed
while making a lot of

wishes
