A lady once told me that
“All the luck in the world”
couldn’t buy me a latte.
I asked her again though
if maybe I could just get one for free,
“I forgot my wallet at home,” I said
and she gave me a wink
and her number instead.
Three people sit on the porch conversing generally. At the apex is a man, energy flows from him into his flankers, words fall from his mouth with a thud, innuendo escapes his eyes when he isn’t looking. On the right is a woman, her vocal inflections reveal too much, her actuality too little, she threatens [...]
Thus begins. Blank white card. Blank like the rain falling from a gutter. We walk together under the scattered pavilions obliquely. Our bodies enter and exit each testtubile in a manner suited for plants. Sleekly pulling up to another, conversation begins. Another brings up the issue, it laid bare on the pavement, now hovers bare [...]
When your boss is driving you to work in the morning, you needn’t worry about being late. The car will crash and you will hit your head against an invading telephone pole, temporarily losing your short-term memory. What are the rules to the game again?

Who knew such dramatically-inclined people lived in this town? If you say “I knew about the dramatically inclined people of Cloquet,” I’m afraid I’ll need to throw [...]
Here’s the thing: a gigantic, massive bottle sits here on my desk and it stares at me. The other thing: it speaks to me as if angry that I should agree that coyotes are nice animals. One last thing: I’ve been working so much and the bottle, s(he) explains that it’s lonely when I’m away [...]
This man, he’s been making the rounds. Knocking on doors. Especially our doors. We’re down and out, so it makes sense. He’s offering two souls for the price of one. Relentlessly. It’s a weird thing to offer something relentlessly. His rounds are relentless too. The other day, I told the man that I didn’t want [...]
What a great attention to detail! It must be fun to pose in such a large variety of astounding and awkward landscapes. Heh. I said that and you said that. At the same time even. It’s strange to think that at this moment, I am not talking. Actually, let me think. Oh yeah, someone called [...]
