Water Work
She arranged to meet him at a seven thirty. He was fifteen minutes late, but she sat at the bar and watched him settle into the table and check his watch obsessively until almost eight before she walked over and seated herself.
He didn't get up. "You're late, I didn't think you were coming." Unapologetic. Strike one. He pulled his sleeve up to check his watch, even though he'd just checked his phone and knew exactly what time it was, just to make a point. Arrogant. Strike two.
"I was actually sitting at the bar. You said from my profile picture that I'd be the 'most compelling beauty in any room', I was curious as to whether you'd spot me."

Cuteness ahead, you've been warmed....
That feel when you find the perfect flowers for your woman and it's snort what she'll expect:
That feel when you know we will over comb Trump:
How you feel when your ass look good:
That feel when you know you've been a little stinker:
That bashful smile when you're too cute for yourself sometimes and take a round of paws:
When you so hungry you don't know what you gonna dish out:
How you feel when you a little teacup, short and with a snout:
How you feel when you nice to everybirdy and whether or not they are nice back is irrelephant because you havin' a good day and they ain't:
That feel when you heard the sealiest thing you've ever

small wonderings --
i get up in the morning
like a normal human being
i drink hot coffee and complain
about my lack of sleep
i go through my day with the same
sense of anticipation as
the person next to me
so what would it matter
if i eyed that girl up front
and wished she'd smile at me
the same way i'd smile
at the stud in the back
with his manicured nails
and what would it matter
if i decided my gender
could be whatever it needed to be
to the person speaking to me
even if there's no scientific
term for that

you and whose army
soldier, what measure
could encompass your courage
in staring truth in its dead eyes
and then inviting it into your arms
without a single whisper
to acknowledge the pain it will cause?
you walk to the beat
of a powerful melody, the one set down
by the ink from your veins,
and for your sake, i hope that those
who aim their blades at your heart
will know it is better to stand down,
for those who know best how to heal
also know best how to hurt.
and when you know this,
an army of clattering
catastrophes, apostrophes,
impostors, and catharsis
of blind mice
only do so much damage.
when you have the pot ready to boil
and the knife ready to b

caught
when I was younger
I used to chase boys
across the schoolyard
and carve their names into
the darkest depths of
my makeshift diaries;
I thought they were my
best kept secrets,
so carefully
tucked away under the
corners of my mattress
(or so I thought until my mother
asked me exactly who
jonathan was and why
my tongue tripped
over his name.)
as I entered
my ripe and pungent
teenage years full of angst
and peer pressure
I found myself falling
or rather flailing
madly into love,
which the first one is
always the messiest
because we’re still not
quite sure what love is
except that it makes your
chest feel tight and
