lost souls and sinners
texas is a murderer
split my heart in two

let's form a rock band
defend the world from boredom
sex, drugs and candy

punch me in the face
cocktail splash, kick to the groin
she goes down down down

there are things unsaid
understood with small gestures
and unwritten words

prescription cowbell
jangly toe tapping music
forget the drum kit

sadomasochist
lick the scars and draw the blood
draining plump veins dry

just a small swift kick
to his water bottle there
drenching his notebook

hiding in the sand
head down and feathers ruffled
the bird a coward

she dances lonely
gliding across checkered floors
never left alone

two new DJ girls
give music to empty ears
intelligent rock

electronic children
rusty gears but polished chrome
bongos and cymbals

harold broke his wing
playing air guitar at shows
he is one lame duck

talking with your cat
will slowly drive you insane
baby talk nonsense

he dropped the glam rock
said goodbye to the glitter
and picked up leather

she invented punk
with just a chemistry kit
and broken guitars

she likes it subtle
the paint smudge in the background
it stands out to her

polaroid pictures
capture fast paced second scenes
please do not shake it

never good at math
one plus one never met two
just zeroes and ones

satan's pajamas:
hot peppers or swastikas
fuzzy skull slippers

leg shaking disease
caused by over excitement
from your pretty face

for dave:

apostrophe boy
coat of grammatical errors
hide a good writer

for shane:

finger icicles
one more tap on the keyboard
he'll have hooks for hands

nintendo game skills
may one day win me a boy
happy now with Toad

too good to be true
similarities a ploy
to get me in bed

look, there's jetpack dog
legless hero saves the day
reward him with bones

she spoke in riddles
taking pride in confusing
the opposite sex

she spoke in street signs
wearing red like a warning
green like go ahead

inspired by todd:

put down the cutlass
eyepatches, fly swatter swords
backyard pirating

watch out Jack Sparrow
he is looking for a crew
not a new captain

map out the island
plunder, sail, drink rum, treasure
all in a day's work

note to self: don't jump
to conclusions on that kid
jew fros are in now

note to self: don't judge
people based on rotting flesh
zombies can be friends

note to self: don't die
there are plenty of rock stars
left to decieve you

note to self: haiku
is a dangerous hobby
think in syllables

note to self: don't lie
unless it gets you free stuff
in your small mail box

bus stop rocketeer
lost amongst the exhaust fumes
you deserve it all

she hides in circles
of cat whiskers and silk scarves
waiting for your hand

imaginary
there is no ideal right here
please turn the page quick

she sold herself short
worth more than one gold doubloon
she sails full time now

i am in hiding
an experiment gone wrong
the game just begun

sometimes i yoohoo
chocolate drink of genius
watch out there Einstein

you have quite a view
why are you sleeping to death?
you'll miss everything

it's not what you say
that smile is just enough
the ending is sweet

my hand down your pants
dark in the movie theater
no one notices

whisper my name loud
echo remains forever
of that one night stand

bleeding ink on wrists
remember me tomorrow
just seven numbers

better make this good
the first impression tells all
nice socks, you are in

the sarcasm queen
has lost her sense of humor
in your pink sofa

minty green vespa
taunting me on boylston
just one ride will do

is there a doctor
that can help with a heartache
tears on the carpet

when you are with me
please watch your back at all times
ninja life is hard

dear anime girl
you frighten me with green eyes
and that nice blonde wig

there you are in stripes
i can't help myself with wrists
like that in my view

i forgot your lips
but i never knew them well
only in my dreams

is that your shadow
or a rough charcoal outline
either way, you're art

MBTA haiku:

sitting together
legs lightly brushing, too close
dare to move an inch

he smells like liquor
he hides his face and vomits
slides under our feet

like Will Wonka's gold
the token will set you free
no oompa loompas

last stop Wonderland
don't follow the white rabbit
no mad tea parties

fascinating ads
pomegranate juice, health pills
never learn a thing

grow up, be a tree
wide trunk, green medusa hair
there so much better

pins and the needles
not expecting reaction
the blood excites me

the white duck supreme
ruler of the brown mallard
no competition

adding our numbers
we would end up a fraction
a line divides us

give him back his arm
can't fear an unarmed old man
please unlock the box

kitchen table fuck
porcelain skin, checkered cloth
i can see your breath

shopping cart races
we lose against old hondas
blame on rusted wheels

still looking to fill
that empty space by my side
with green aliens

shopping cart races
playing dead in parking lots
grocery store games

i can't figure out
conversation we didn't hold
did it mean a thing

i got a new cat
with the puma things are free
it's just like heaven

suck the novacaine
from swollen cheeks, dentist rape
fuck dental hygiene

i get lonely here
i would rather spend days,nights
inside your closet

i can't sleep alone
your fingers around my waist
but there's no one there

i'm outside your house
throwing rocks at closed windows
broken glass. no lights.

i'll call you milkweed
nothing sweet. no offense, dear.
brush hair from your eyes

sometimes when you call
i breath heavy in the phone
"luke, i'm your father."

[We hope that you choke]
your absense of words cause rage
i am not happy

a rusted pillow
she's not scared of tetanus
two can fight disease

for ian:
a genius, you say
i am not sure about that
he drinks his own pee

the profile haiku
you were never good enough
for ian alpha

beat you at knife fights
take you on with my bare hands
i'm fueled by ketchup

i get lonely here
i would rather spend days,nights
inside your closet

for tim:
poptarts are yummy
not like cardboard iced centers
a toaster's best friend

not available
but you can knock if you care
i'll let you inside

mouthing sweet whispers
gummi bear dreams and jello
thoughts consumed of you

once there is a truth
will you still hold my hand tight?
senseless provoking

out of the bubble
discovering what is there
content seeks simple

scratching skin below
unearthing all that is true
truth is the appeal

arms held the glue there
fictionalized daydream hearts
it's all real now, right?

CD skips again
repeating the fiasco
do you still care now?

vanilla coke can
bubbles fizz and i feel calm
waiting for you here

blood drops from split lips
a puddle unforgiven
will i ever know?

intimidation
i do not fear what i see
let's make out real soon

congratulations
you are off the herion
too bad you are dead

a cup of earl grey
two lumps of sugar, no milk
the biscuits are stale

for barrios:
ninjas included
in films, cartoons, cereal
make everything good

i am not famous
my finger tips aren't calloused
a bleak destiny

just a small gesture
like the faded images
in the liner notes

underneath green trees
lives a dreamy world of gnomes
that will bite your toes

she's awake at night
typing letters and haikus
but words decieve her

she lives in colours
obscured by sunny todays
but gone tomorrow

eyelash on her cheek
sometimes just a small gesture
cigarette glowing

if we runaway
escaping your fantasy
don't forget the cat

car window is jammed
the oxygen level low
you are still smiling

the big dipper, gone
stolen out of the night sky
i would blame the moon

i'd rather not say
keep you guessing the answer
read between the lines

behind my closed lips
i say your name in my head
waiting for hellos

i cover your mouth
shush whispers, kisses, tongue, teeth
feeling for the gun

i never say hi
just empty kisses on lips
then i go on home

fuckin' A, says i
i hope your eyes rot away
and you get the plague

ridiculous time
self doubting insomniac
i wish i was blind

for sabrina:
marilyn monroe
heavy mascara faded
rouge on the pillow

for Janice:
longing for poets
cigarette resting on lips
she looks faraway

i can't find my heart
hidden beneath crushed crayons
cardboard box ruined

invisible plane
i'm flagging it down to land
please pick me up soon

i kiss your ashes
dusty words and a farewell
black soot for lipstick

never trust a man
with a white beard and big tum
razors in the toys

never trust a man
with a mustache and mullet
rapes you with nunchakus

never trust a man
with a polka dot hanky
no cat in his pants

my trigger finger
draws on an empty holster
your fingers should be there

cry yourself to sleep
it's raining outside again
thinking about you

Living fairytale
Only friends with unicorns
Still looking for prince
