I hate to give up on family,

I remember how much

fun we all had

learning to spell your name

But when you hear my moo,

you pay no heed to my voice

You still claim I do not have one

Maybe the couch was too comfy

and God was binge-watching Cheers reruns

during the eight years of Obama

Photosynthesis in reverse

Turning future oxygen

into current carbon dioxide

The man sitting in a field quietly gazing into nature 

So when you say

you love the Constitution,

what you really mean

is simply…

hook baited

                                hook piercing

Dirty water spins until the machine

grinds to an abrupt halt

that no amount of frantic button pushing

can remedy

The line’s too fast

I can’t keep up

My fingers bleed

from all the cuts

Apart from the three hundred thousand

edible plants in the world…

A moment of bliss

A dream I wanted to last

Fuck the alarm clock

My heart’s arsonist arrives,

gasoline on her lips

The Bible claims God created mankind in his image. Regardless of your belief, what seems extremely evident is that we have created him in ours.

Humane

What a strange adjective

to describe slaughter

Your political sign,

the horrifying Halloween ornament

still decorating your lawn, 

suffocating contradiction
endlessly spinning in circles,

We say that we care -

well, some of us do -

but most of us just

look away while we chew

Imagine I knew of the harm early on but denied it and continued anyway. 

Hate grabs his buddies

(he’s perpetually popular)

Disposable forks

Disposable spoons 

Disposable knives
