09-29 This Is Why

while waiting,

for you to smile,

I saw, blue sky nothing,

in your eyes,

stink of summer’s,

lazy, bored, fuck-all,

playing

as if we could all see the storms coming,

as if we could all see the storms coming,

but it’s your smile,

that gives away the rain. 

09-28 You Wet Your Pants

You didn't have to touch me.

I didn't want you,

to touch me,

because you don’t know how

to touch me,

without,

touching me, wanting to touch me,

knowing you can’t touch me,

knowing you can touch me,

wanting to touch me,

makes you want,

to touch me, and you don’t

want,

to touch me knowing,

you want to touch me,

because,

you didn't have to,

but you,

did.

09-27 Boxes

Am I to blame,

for packing,

boxes of lighter fluid,

when most boys,

stack dishes,

between,

matching linen napkins,

taping ever so carefully,

their boxes,

putting them in matching boxes,

ever so perfectly,

in their garage,

boxes and boxes and boxes-

putting away,

for tomorrow, for the next day,

for the later,

ever so firmly,

in their,

boxes and boxes and boxes,

and boxes-

in the dark, waiting, in all their boxes,

soaking in butane, waiting.

09-25 Bad Chicken

you ruffle my feathers,
like a bad, naughty chicken,
laying eggs on Mondays,
when I need to make,
pancakes on Sundays,
bad chicken, bad chicken.

09-24 I Love You, Allie Wenzl

love,
you are,
home and heart to me,
home, love,
and heart to me,
wicked in the funny,
practical in the crazy,
attack of your heart,
at home, but you don't,
know,
if you can be,
crazy in the heart of
what I, love,
about you,
to me, home,
and heart, to me,
what I loved,
when you are,
home, the heart
is you to me,
home, love,
your heart,
is me to you,
love.

09-23 Order Me

something fruity,
something with bubbles,
not whine, not from the list,
from the tap,
if you want to,
tap this, like a dance,
in a glass,
keep it light, seltzer bright,
that's a strike,
that's a no,
no more
on the sugar, honey,
there's enough sweet money,
in this blow,
in this smile, in your smile,
you outta know,
I'll make you snap, make you bite,
make you regret,
like a crisp, after-thought,
from your lips,
so don't, that's a no,
forget these words,
forget these promises,
with apple-pear kisses,
to do me, drink me,
bottom's up, to the barrel,
don't baby, me
right,
out of sight, please, girl,
as if,
you could wish,
this Cinderella her night.

Babe-
just order me

something fruity,
before I pumpkin this midnight.

09-22 Petunia's (Reprise)

Izzy,
tell me your secret sweetie,
your fingers play the rain,
so lightly, dropping amber liquid, so lightly,
into your rainbow?
Oh, Izzy,

couldn't you have left us alone,
isn't it enough,
isn't it enough,
to be not-alone,
isn't it enough,
isn't it enough,
to be not-alone,

(growled the Behr with your ukulele),

smashing the same cookie twice,
the same cookie crashing,
twice,
oh Izzy,
isn't it enough
to drop amber liquid,
into the bowl,
smashing the same cookie twice,
the same cookie, crashing,
twice,
isn't it enough,
to drop amber liquid,
into the bowl, so lightly,
playing the rain, so lightly,
playing the rain,
oh Izzy,
so lightly,
playing the rain,

(whisper's Mr. Behr to Mr. Butterfly)- somewhere.
