Show Poem: October 21, 2016 Charlotte, NC @ The Station #poetry 


I wake up to the cat show
A paw to the face
Too fast for a picture
Blown out back lit
Feel good friends and
Sugar fogs for breakfast

I greet the golden soft serve
In transit
Slicing up the rain
Dangling our keys over
The watermelon
We cut through the forest
Like a needle full of Sweet tea

Overriding instincts
One nose pick at a time
Becoming badgers we
Savor the forest floor

Logs on the highway
Dancing in the bread isle
When In Rome eat Ramen
Cocaine clouds
Moustache handle bars
Hot sauce at the batting cages
Water back seat cushion

We drive dry and tend to dry drive
Only when friends are in town
Allow me my transgressions
And I will worship you for the entire visit

Whole Foods Leather grandma
Pulled pork and cake pops
Eating forks for dollars
Take the time to love
Every hair and folicle

But this is my play
And this my day
There are many like it
But this one is mine
I love each day
Like our last gig on the planet

Show Poem: October 20, 2016 Richmond, VA @ Bijou Film Center #poetry 

I awake to cat eating
Spear through the daily deletions
The goal is not to show up for work
On time

Cream cheese frosting
Stomach ache
Slow creeping beatles on the vine
I give them each a name

Captain Billy’s seafood restaurant
Jack Jacob Jacobe
Blind willie I hate my life
Anxiety relationship the third

Gettting out of the inside job
Wading through waist high grass

The flashing light shows you
Where the camera is

Grooves & uneven lanes
Celebrate the car sickness season

Water crossings and sun sitting
Horny’s restaurant: where friends meet

Nasty women wine country
Bitches brew and Trump steaks

I am a recepticle for the golden liquid light
Projections of a bad drunken movie
Flow over me
It never gets old when it’s already old
My toes are where it starts
Now I am up to my knees in you

When I’m spilling out my boots
When I get the lighting wrong
When I cut in front of you at the subway
When I confuse the subway train
With the subway sandwich shop

Art is on the door and
The door is now a table

No, no, no, no. I’m not saying it’s over
I’m just saying that it’s hard sometimes

Show Poem: October 19, 2016 Baltimore, MD @ Windup Space #poetry 

I will always be here
Like or dark
Extra crispy or original recipe

Car pool bridge and tunnel syndrome
Channel number one, two, three, four
The sounds of a drill next door
Battery acid and breathing trailers
Servicing all makes and models
Redirecting car stress
Into pointless scolding

The blue sky is always there
Like a table cloth on Thanksgiving
I’m sorry we don’t serve angels here
Only fallen stars and cameleons
With good attitudes
The hash is runny and the eggs are hard
But the company is second to none

The thick air is what we all come here for
It doesn’t translate over YouTube

Moths are free but butterflies are expensive
No one thought to build a better rainbow

We drive straight into the sun for hours
It never gets worse
Until things get bent
And somehow get better
