Auto-Lullaby
Think of a sheep knitting a sweater; think of your life getting better and better. Think of your cat asleep in a tree; think of that spot where you once skinned your knee. Think of a bird that stands in your palm. Try to remember the Twenty-first Psalm. Think of a big pink horse galloping south; think of a fly, and close your mouth. If you feel thirsty, then drink from your cup. ...

Fears Upon Impending Cohabitation
The building we are touring does not appear on Google Street View. Instead, there is a photo of a large pit under construction. If we move there, we will cease to exist. Our photos will begin to fade ala Marty McFly.

We will absorb the depressed, alcoholic vibe of the modern one-bedroom with the stained white carpeting. Vertical blinds that conceal the tiniest of balconies...

Horse Piano
The idea is to get a horse, a Central Park workhorse.
A horse who lives in a city, over in the hell part of Hell’s Kitchen, in a big metal tent.
You have to get one who is dying. Maybe you get his last day on the job, his owner, his tourists. You get his walk back home at the end of the day, some flies, some drool. You get his deathbed, maybe. And then, post mortem, still warm,...

To Myself
You are riding the bus again
burrowing into the blackness of Interstate 80,
the sole passenger
with an overhead light on.
And I am with you.
I’m the interminable fields you can’t see,
the little lights off in the distance
(in one of those rooms we are

and the others all
around you, and the loneliness you love,
and the universe that loves you...
