chant and hum

Max is trying to hold hands with the dogs.

Max is hooting and hollering at his books.

Max is listening to secrets whispered in his ears.

Max is making a mess.

Max is banging a drum.

Max is playing air guitar, his fingers curling around invisible frets.

Max is getting cactus stickers in between his toes.

Max is watching the Cosby show.

Max is eating bubbles and fried chicken.

Max is real! Max is singing!

Max is ready to go outside...

XX/XX + XX/XXY = XXOO

girls talk- about boys. about each other. about other girls. about other girls' boys.

girls talk.

girls like, Noxema, ultra light 100 cigarettes, sugar-free bubble flavored chewing gum, Finesse shampoo and conditioner, big cars, boys, each other, other girls, other girls' boys.

when it's just us girls, it's just fabulous.

when it's just us it's better.

VIVA GIRLHOOD

shiny time station

save your swoons, i'm spoken for.

trust me

everything you think, i know
i draw the Death card every single day
(i just un-bury the rest of me)

everything you dream, i did
the Hanged Man's a pinata anyway
(the blood runs from the rest of me)

everything you feel, i feel
some brand new Lovers have nothing to say
(someone's still getting the best of me)

this will be our year. took a long time to come.

year of cat/rabbit is here and means a time to catch my breath and exhale it. and while i will never learn to bite my tongue, my teeth won't leave my bottom lip.
(it's important)
max fell asleep with his cheek on my neck, nestled up, like the scar is where he came from.
if i lose any more teeth i'll be goddam pirate.

i can't relax til you like me back.

your ignorance gives me vertigo

it is dizzying,
your clueless guts
that is.

sometimes i wish everyone would just find a tumor
and grow up already.

my life lives outside the scope of imagination.
how could you understand?
try.
try your hardest.

i love you.
