les pommes de terre

!viva México!

emerson is eating jelly rolls in his grave

"simplify, simplify, simplify,"
said the shirt
of the father
freaking
out
over the wrong frosting on some stupid cake.
"i like your shirt,"
i said.
and he looked like he puked a little in his mouth.

les pommes d'amour

today is moving day.

the almost full moon spilling its light through the curtains,
or the horrible itch of poison oak on my cubital fossa.
today is moving day.
today i move in under the old (non-poisonous) oak tree.
