the coffee panic

the coffee panic

newspapers, whiskey,

empty Kools, empty

coolness. I found it

very hard to breathe.

The forked honey

paints sad faces on paper plates.

The clean laundry is old

enough to be dirty. I am old

enough to be old.

Hi, Jim! I stalked you on Google to this page. I was with my friend at the AWP poetry slam and loved your pieces. I was in the second row, behind the judges, with the short dark hair. Anyway, I'll be looking out for your chapbook when it comes out. Good luck!
