whenever a hallmark
movie comes on
brace yourself
for schlock
& tears
because damn
those movies
get to me

the best cure
for a hangover
is to just tell
your liver to
buckle up

oh hey june
didn’t notice
you snuck in
the back way
& so nice of
you to bring
a six pack

silence nurses evil on
memories of grandeur

sometimes
distraction
gets the best of

saturday & whatever
is planned goes undone
because hey it’s not
like it isn’t saturday
so just piss right off
until the middle
of next week when
we look forward
to another & then
shit will get done
in anticipation
of another day off

the funeral tie
undoes itself
against all hope

hey someone said
ketchup was good
on eggs so I tried it
& it’s okay but not
earth shattering
which is good
I guess because
otherwise there
wouldn’t be
any more eggs

whatever
the grass
knows it
loses when
mown &
grows new
memories
each dew
fall yet
trees know
nothing of
this sacrifice
& toss
leaves across
morning lawns

between two words
unfurls infinite space
to breathe again
