THIS WAS ONCE A LOVE POEM This was once a love poem, before its haunches thickened, its breath grew short, before it found itself sitting, perplexed and a little embarrassed, on the fender of a parked car, while many people passed by without turning their heads. It remembers itself dressing as if for a [...] DEAR MIGRAINE Dear Migraine, You’re the shadow shadow lurking in me and the lunatic light waiting in that shadow. Ghostwriter of my half-life, intention’s ambush I can’t prepare for, ruthless whammy you have me ogling a blinding sun, my right eye naked even with both lids closed— glowering sun, unerring navigator around this darkened [...] SICK “I cannot go to school today,” Said little Peggy Ann McKay. “I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox And there’s [...] SPONTANEOUS ME Spontaneous me, Nature, The loving day, the mounting sun, the friend I am happy with, The arm of my friend hanging idly over my shoulder, The hill-side whiten’d with blossoms of the mountain ash, The same, late in autumn—the hues of red, yellow, drab, purple, and light and dark green, The rich coverlid [...] NEVER GIVE ALL THE HEART Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that’s lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.

This was a mistake, I think. I could never really find a decent rhythm (slow [...] SINCE NINE—— Half past twelve. The time has quickly passed since nine o’clock when I first turned up the lamp and sat down here. I’ve been sitting without reading, without speaking. With whom should I speak, so utterly alone within this house? The apparition of my youthful body, since nine o’clock when I first turned [...] … I’ll figure out how to get a really good night’s sleep without having to resort to some sort of supplement or pharmaceutical to either induce sleep or kill pain so that sleep can come naturally. Buy until that day I’ll lie in bed, tapping away on my iPhone or reading until I just [...] Sometimes being Big Ring is knowing when NOT to ride in the big ring … The way my legs feel right now, I’m certainly glad I never used any gear bigger than the 39×14, and even that only briefly; mostly 39×15 or 39×16.
