going up
in the house where i grew up, we had a half-bathroom downstairs. it was a no frills affair, this bathroom, but as a kid i would enter it and shut the door, and it would turn into an elevator, taking me upstairs. no one else knew it was an elevator. i never opened the door to see the kitchen and shag-carpeted living room waiting behind it. i didn’t need to. i’d just wait there a bit, leering at the magical crack between the floor and the doorframe, and then, when the time was right, would go back down and exit the way i came, my body warm with the secret knowledge that i’d gone up, then come back down. no one else knew it was an elevator.

spring
the melting, smoky smell of spring. coming out of a funk, i guess. i don’t know. i want to quit all the time and feel more fake than ever. so fake i can barely begin or finish any sentences, and when i do my stomach hurts.

one more night
i respect phil collins’s “one more night” for putting the leading tone in the bass.

some call it history
whatever it is we share
renders me speechless, thoughtless
emptied of character and definition
and anything i once liked about myself
or you

postcard / uptown 2
homeless man with no fingers files his stumps while laughing into the stinking air that has this train car only half as full as the others, and at times square throws an empty beer can at an asian man exiting the train and says “take that, nigga.”
