"Even though your heart is kind of small,
seems like you're built for something strong."
"Even though you're kind of weak,
seems like you're built for me."
Nothing caught on fire.
No ceilings collapsed.
Jiffy cornbread mix lying next to the unhooked video card.
Circuits shorted and unplugged.
"You're too affectionate. Stop touching my face."
The time you were upset that I
remembered a moment apart and
crossed lines.
Pacman and eight bit cherry stalking
you and yours. Close enough to smell and scent
and half a mile away, fingertips inches from contact and
tooclosefor comfort, but near enough for good eyes.
Tearing up and tearing off to good distance. I will and do miss

"...that we made it home last night."
Bad weather makes for

"I want to keep that for myself. That is what I call him,
the name I gave him and that is mine, okay?"
No peace for the restless, no home for the homeless,
no place for the obvious and the misstep.
Rage was one of the deadly sins
I've been told before on occasion
inside my head.
The apple still on top of the bricks on the porch beside the letters
that should have stayed inside the mailbox that fingers opened
against better judgement.
I miss you already
though I just left.
We need to do this again sometime
said the fish to the filter.
A rarity. "Never placid again." "Never acid again?"
"Never ask it again," was what I meant to say.
"I don't have much more than my body to give
so I give freely of myself. I'm a fucking billionaire inside."
Wanting to ask her if her hair does that on its own
after she showers or if its product and
brush teased volume.
I don't have a cold and no it is not a coke habit.
"I'm better than that." Left to the right brain snickering.
The only difference being Rapunsel didn't know
how good she had it
before a boy pulled on her hair
with all his might.
