phonecalls as 'dates'
not one new adventure, but 2
selling my desk
selling my books
stupid broken window, interruptus
do AIM kisses count?
buyer's digest, $50, you disassemble
a woman in 10bed2 crying in her sleep
the noise the glass makes -
another shatter when i close the car door -
i'll have my own bedroom, it'll be ok
come over on friday, i'm giving away
my memories
take all the old clothes to the salvation army
use up all the rice
everything extraneous has to go
including me hating you, still
civil conversations, $50, you disassemble
don't be sad, all of the bits of your home will go in storage
'i could kill your landlords - you take those blinds with you - '
'can't do anything, the weapon they used is missing - '
'did they take anything valuable?'
'your mother called - 25 minutes - she said i promised - but they were your mistakes - '
'i was semi-away when i caught the music of your kiss - '
'let me go through your odds and ends, some of them might be precious to me - '
i'd forgotten how pure music with the covers over your head could be
'mommy, hold me like a baby - '
her mother is jamaican and she has a boyfriend with spectacular dreadlocks
join my candle club
happy father's day
this is the day aunt ginger committed suicide - took all of those pills - left me the bracelet engraved 'love derek' - mom still suspects foul play -
they say she was most like me
that she talked like me and dressed like me
i miss her and i never met her
i love you ginger, you were most like me and you're dead -
they played teaparty in the woods -
their mother used to beat them
my mother lived in a dust-free plastic room for a year
ginger was a hippie like me
ginger was the youngest
i remind them all of her, dead ginger
don't be sad, all of the pieces of home will be in storage
