colleagues noting insect noses

from watching old movies

to peeling shrimp

in a twenty-two-year span

of Sunday afternoons

skateboard have hands bags

the alcoholic scoutmaster

the very improbability of porn

me, cast as existentialist Zen poet, circa 1999

just before being swept up in love

MILITANT

MYSTIC

crystalized sand

amethyst geodes

“roses of the desert”
