4-28 Everytime I Say Goodbye I Blame The Eggs

There it is,
my schmaltzy title,
but it might be because,
I overcooked,
my eggs this morning,
but I cannot find the tears,
in the words,
so I sit here,
annoyed and bloated,
thinking instead,
about stuffing my face,
with sushi,
making smart choices, and
not so smart choices,
one more plate, right?
and all of you,
sitting in the booth with me,
when I see our crooked faces,
instead of feeling warmth inside,
which might be gas at this point,
as I woke up last night,
and grabbed the chips from the cupboard,
-smart choices
I keep,
wondering,
how is it a restaurant runs,
out of cheap white wine,
on a Monday evening,
when I should be hugging,
you with phrases about
how awesome community is,
friends, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blame the eggs,
but I just can't seem to find the right words,
to say,
pass the soy sauce, please.

4-20 Make Him Sparkle

late night,
in the editing room,
I look at your eyes,
looking back at me,
at the camera,
you don't look at him,
he is unsure,
cautious in the photos,
he is not used to the,
attention, the need,
you feel, to look
at the camera,
looking at me,
waiting for me,
to tell you I love you,
when I know you do,
he smiles, surprised,
to be with you, but not,
awkward, you see this,
but you don't see this,
this is Pandora whispering,
in my ear, in the editing room,
with you looking at me,
and him not,
knowing where to look,
except at you,
and you don't look at him,
if you did,
the photo,
would,
make him sparkle,
all I do,
is capture what I see,
and I know he could be,
beautiful to me,
I could make him beautiful to me,
but I can not make him beautiful to you,
so I don't look at him,
I look at you,
looking at me,
wondering why
it is so easy,
to make you sparkle,
in the late night,
of my editing room.

4-12 HornQuake

did you feel it?

about 3:28 pm,
pacific standard time,

the earth shook,
great with a fury of a terrible might,
thunder roared with teeth,
as fierce as the blackest of night,
an army of zombie dinosaurs,
arose a terrible, fierce, and frightening sight,
but really,

the phone just burped,
"woof,"

nopantzpdx says hi,
pigglywigglybearrug says grrr,
bottombastien asks what happening?
pccpunkinthefunkinthetrunk sends a
hey-lo, whistle, toodle and a grunt.
(block)
boxtopbabe, getmelaid, daddylicklicious,
silvertipsplayed,
groaner4u, travelinthru,
and masc4musc2wrstle4trble,
send a pic of their trick,
a thick stick of a shtick,
would I like to
(blush)
handsonnhary, handsomenthensome,
mississippimymary,
cubinaclass,
and discreetdrtybullbearly,
give it a show, hey, you're nearby,
woof,
what do ya know?

then it stops,
blue as the balls,
high in the sky,
the thunder meekly,
says good luck and good bye
the zombie dinosaurs,
cower, lost all their power,
shrink out of sight,
while the earth, laughs,
to cause such a fright,
taking pleasure
in his afternoon's delight.
