hungry

 
people ask
how you

find something
to do with
your life.
something to
burn for.
my response
is always:
do what
you skip
meals for.
what
makes you
hungry.

 

poems

 
people
move thru
the afternoon
in different ways.
naps, sex,
books, work,
exercise.
i glide
thru
in poems.
each one
moves me
closer
to dusk
and when
that falls
i know
i’ve
made it.

 

rampant

 
everyone’s
a comedian,
writer,
or artist
these days.
content runs
more rampant
than fentanyl.
it feels like
a bubble
might burst.
indie presses
swallow up
my books
and spit them
out
on amazon
with millions
of other books.
excess content
isn’t good
for
the culture.
but when
did we
prioritize
culture
over profit?
