because you told me

I woke up
as a bad-ass madman poet,
stalking downtown,
daring you to cross me,
to try to fuck me over,
because you told me to "break"
and what you don't know is
I never will,
but then I felt
a horrible desperate loneliness,
injected behind my eyes like fire,
melting my neurons together,
seizing my limbs,
and it was a feeling the night couldn't cure
and fucking can only hold at bay
and fucking and fucking and fucking
can only hold at bay.

Already

The time
          is already
                wasted

The dream
          is already
                gone

A Veces

A veces,
solamente

Saying

Just remember
what
my dear old
imaginary dad
used to say,

"If I got
a key to your house,
I'm gonna
eat
your Fritos."

I like jars

I like jars
I'm 36
I'm your secret boyfriend

Do you want
to see my antlers?

Early Morning

Early morning is like
    a foreign country,
populated mainly
    by birds
      and
      empty soda cans
