  1. miso

    by , 11-02-2006 at 05:41 PM (Imported Poems)
    it's raining
    he sits by the window.
    my hostess skills are rusty so i
    take extra time selecting the perfect strands of wakame, stirring
    them into the broth just so.
    i hold the lacquered bowl he bought for me
    reverently
    i hold our love reverently
    i drop in cubes of tofu, as if they were brush work.
    he'd like to help but i've told
    him no so he sits with
    his black manx, scratches him behind the
    ears, so quiet ...

  2. tea at star bucks/another bad poem

    by , 11-02-2006 at 05:41 PM (Imported Poems)
    aphrodite
    flows by,
    joining with the mess
    of the sidewalk.

    and though she is
    stunning like
    unborn music, her
    contempt/need/
    sneers of passion remind
    me of the
    eventual trashing
    of porcelain and
    i crave the honest
    laughter of a
    baby with
    trisomy 21
    an iq of 40.

  3. big man and teddy bears

    i sit on the bed, peep over his huge trapezius and deltoideus
    muskels
    peep into

    he's looking at two teddy bears on my dresser
    -one surprised, three claws on each paw raised up
    who are you, sir
    the little one pensive, snuggled near
    green forests stamped on its belly-
    doesn't know i'm here on the bed sipping
    his every move
    he touches my three little granite mushrooms
    great-gramma got them in korea

  4. coffee

    coffee married itself
    to mocha slipped
    itself inside my skin
    carressed my back
    gave birth to
    lloyds of london
    and more families
    in columbia kenya
    tanzania
    this planet
    than i could ever hope to
    count
    could ever hope to dream
    of the day when
    it first was brewed
    like lightning from the sky
    who first smelled it
    burnt and who?
    offered it first to you

    La de da
    Says la
    Zebra
    As she
    Fastens her
    Bra getting
    Ready for
    Her
    (Blind) date hoping that
    Her stripes
    Don't show

    [subtext: her date Is blind; could care less what she looks like, but she is tizzified, perched between two colors.]
