1
a female in high school fried
my heart. not even
that destroyed me.
2

i was born: true or false--
or none of the above?
3

here. saved from older
but not original draft.
4

dollars right now, how
would you spend today?
5
you are combo of fastest
sperm and sweetest egg so
assemble sweet self-portrait.
6
always read directions then
disconnect broken-mirror thoughts
before assembling late-night lover.
7
panic slightly if unsmiling cubist mug
appears on driver’s license staring up
frozen beneath meadowland pond.
8
hey god, if i ask too much when
i pray just let me go: ego mind
keeps confusing me with soul.
