I WOULD SWALLOW BOMBS FOR ATTENTION

Legalize marital 

duels where 

the husband 

has to fight 

with one 

blindfold 

and the wife 

can bring 

a small 

knife if 

she agrees 

to lick off 

the blood 

Hello Grace 

it’s heaven 

in paradise 

several enemies 

have deemed me 

a person who

might be 

from California

fainting 

in eighty 

degree weather

falling asleep 

to Stravinsky 

filling my 

life with 

salads like 

corn salad 

beet salad 

warm salad 

leaf salad 

raccoon salad 

Yes there are two

palm trees with

foul demeanors but

I love 

something

about you

that I don’t

possess and

therefore 

cannot name
