Week 5, Day 31 – "Please Shut Up"

Please Shut Up

Please shut up.

I have heard you, over and over again,
you keep telling me what I am doing wrong,
and how you would do it better.

Well, then go ahead and do it your way,
and I’ll do it mine.

But most importantly,
Please shut up.

Week 5, Day 30 – "Mother's Day Tradition"

Mother’s Day Tradition

Me and Jenny went down to the Heat and Eat to get some dinner. It was mother’s day and she was feeling all warm inside. She wasn’t a mother yet, but the baby was kicking so it wouldn’t be too much longer. I figured that we might as well celebrate, even if it was a month early. That, and I really wanted a burger. Jenny ordered a big bacon sandwich and a chocolate milkshake. When she got the sandwich, she smothered that puppy with so much catsup that I don’t even know if she could taste the bacon. I didn’t question her on it though. She always ate strange shit to begin with, so it makes sense that two of them together in one body must be coming up with some crazy cravin’s. Can’t say it was much of a day to remember, but it was the first of what would be come a bacon eating mother’s day tradition.

Week 5, Day 29 – "Joy's Words"

Joy’s Words

Joy sings in her own language
Not confined by the structure of knowledge
She is just happy, just singing

Joy eats books,
Too young to read,
Books just taste so good.

Week 5, Day 28 – "Twitter Back"

Twitter Back

Just saw this cute guy at the grocery store.
I’m doing better.
That fucking bastard.
I’m fine, really, I’m fine.
I can’t believe this shit.
He is really gone.
I called him again today. He still doesn’t answer.
Let’s give it just one more chance.
I can’t believe this shit.
I fucking hate him.
He’s breaking up with me.
Jon said it’s not going to work out.
Something’s not right.
Weekend kind of sucked.
We are going to Jon’s parents place this weekend.
Ups and downs.
I’m bored.
Three months today. I luvs you.
Best day ever.
So. Much. Fun.
I can’t believe I’ve found the one.
It’s getting more serious.
I really like him.
Met this new guy – Jon.

Week 4, Day 27 – "Perfect Machine"

Perfect Machine

Pretty, pretty, pretty
jeez, you’re so pretty
my Mitsubishi Lancer
you’re a big road dancer.

Week 4, Day 26 – "She Loves Me"

She Loves Me

She loves me
She loves me not

Back and forth in a children’s game
As an adult, pretty much the same

Week 4, Day 25 – "She Better Pay Me"

She Better Pay Me

working out here on the fire escape,
sweating my ass off
just so she can have some clean windows.

she doesn’t even look out of them
hell, what would she see
nothing but a bunch of damn perverts

Week 4, Day 24 – "Window Washing 3"

Window Washing

Mmmm, my god! She is so fucking hot.
look at her up there, all sweaty from window washing,
hair tied back, firm arms, flexing as she wipes down the glass

Damn, she’s reaching over to get it all
love that back, love that ass, love those legs
she’s the perfect woman.

Someday I’m going to hit that shit.

Week 4, Day 23 – "Window Washing 2"

Window Washing

Every week, I have to clean the grime off my windows.
I get on my crappiest clothes, go out on the ledge,
and wipe the nasty city shit off the glass.

After I am done, I can sit inside and look out my window
and see the grime as it really is outside.
The clear view makes me gloomy.

One of these days I am going to board up those windows
and never look out there again.

Week 4, Day 22 – "Window Watching"

Window Watching

Sheri in her cleaning clothes,
(an old grey former boyfriend t-shirt, and stained baby blue hospital pants)
crawls out on her fire escape
with a bottle of windex and old newspapers

Each week she sparkle shines her windows, both sides
giving her a clear view of the park below
kids playing, people taking a quick lunch break, flirting

Sheri doesn’t live a celebrity life
but she daydreams in her window chair

and that opens up a big, big world
