History

The first computer programmer was a woman
Daughter of a poet
Translator of Italian memoir
The height of Romanticism
Her name was a valentine

Summer

Saturn strode the moon three times today
and I haven’t even had breakfast
It is practical, yet boring, to do only one thing
I hold my potential collaborators scarf

With a flow like this who needs friends
Back when my limbs were golden, I was lost
I was wild

Trying to move bodies through an idea is a feat
Folding and cutting paper, and scratching notes, is less of a feat

The more you practice something the worse for wear it gets
I could never return to that shirt.
Carefully unsnap and reveal, disentangle
Every fray, spreads
I regarded it as the happiest of my life
Exploring too far down the wrong corridor

Nothing is a failure without a plan
Force yourself to end differently
Compulsory propulsion

Out And About

I own this city
née, these farms
Trapped by the medium

Traveling Down Clifton Place in PM

walking into and out onto a wide field
the feeling of standing in a meadow
loose space between the bones

I think of shimmery things, and small flowers
light things, stringy but tall and calming
firm to the earth

Starry Starry Night

Girl, redeemed by your blue moment
skim you match the blow
stand, vagabond, 
you left and were replaced.
I wanted to be let down more
I wouldn’t have minded for somebody
to thud into the glass like a bird
killed by velocity
and an honest mistake.

Oz transported us
Blanket of planetarium.
somebody sitting next to me smelled so good
but like his wife’s deodorant
they probably use the same one.
someone was wearing a watch, difficult thing
I’d like a cafe latte,
Blue, relax into your floor duet

This Is A Test

Fools with loaded machetes standing in uniform outside of whole foods
fodder for the say you wanna revolution graduation acapella speech
I made you cry when, say when you don’t say, does she?
Or don’t they
Coat, gotta layer it’s cold could be colder
This is going nowhere let’s say goodbye
Love I never told you, Mariah, remember?
This should really stop, no
No?
I really hate where this is heading
I think we all know, it doesn’t end well
How could it? Well, when you put it that way
I’m not ashamed to say this is a stupid exercise 
When will you realize?
Let’s forget that ever happened
let’s pretend we’re strangers
sounds fun I could be down
Text me later, hmu
Style with a battery
Bee pollen No! Ginseng
Incense is transportive
sentences get shorter
“Come On Home To Bed-Stuy”
The colonizer and the colonized

Late Night

I went to this crazy show
It was dance in tenor
I believe the colloquial term is “breath of fresh air”
id even k
