Western Michigan just beat Central Michigan.
Western Michigan students are storming the field.

I'm in a bar waiting (for my life to
change) to be a taxi, I've inked red
three pages, the regulars eyebrow
one another, get a load of this fucker.
I pulled out my cellphone and faked texting.

My dog poohed in the downpour as soon as outside.
Who cares if it was in his own self-interest.

I kick in my bedroom door to protest
my fucking, saltless without imagined
surveillance. No one begs to be ignored
more than me, Mr Anonymous no
one troubles to uncloset. I would tell
you my name, consequences abandoned
like a calf in a blizzard, save at no
risk. It's easy to be an anarchist
when I acknowledge I have no power
to demand you watch me in my bedroom.

Because tomorrow is grandpa I say time is just a bookmark
day after tomorrow is yesterday's stamp or seal
weirdly younger cousin on my eyelids' passport, cinched
by parents' stomachs of the housewives of Fuckington.
sloppy tomorrow, what chaos What chaos isn't tedious
not spewing untapped is still untapped as the fucking
in strategically selected Potomac River flooding the seventh
countries. time this summer my snake-infested clubhouse?

Spookiness I asked Spookiness I asked Spookiness to make
but would not I asked to marry me me spooky Spookiness
marry me Spookiness laughed even I'm called me a fool
said I thought I was a weathervane not spooky isn't
half right all that spooky you think prophecy spooky is
the time you're a Jeremiah it was an accident being dressed
convinced I'm right always when a joke right for all occasions.

I don't bother dating I don't bother I don't bother dating
tablet entries dating tablet entries what no one will read
until I notice I'll blog stamp the prior because I won't
I don't date tablet night or prior publish it afraid to
entries and write night didn't matter publish this poem
a dated post like it mattered when I wrote except by
with a sentence undated beads of deer misdirection, honor
like this this one shit fresh as a wet opal in tablet of tablet.

I left my red pen in the car I go to my care and get my red pen
I've two orange pens, should I brought in two orange
I alternate words pens, my color blindness in pitch black
like I had a red pen worse than ever. I never liked red
I go to my car and get my red pen until I was blinder, blind.

Think how cantilevered I hate fucking taxonomy
leverage is, hanging fucking logic fucking world
not collapsing on not class filers, the organized
not collapsing, betting the stickler, rule's-lawyer
that not betting triggers pedantic but always correct
collapse's doomsday. levers of the cantilever.

I can't stop counting to seven I can't stop counting to six in seven beats.
weight beat lines. Drinking a beer I still can't write what I want because I'm
before United v Milan afraid someone will read it, as if my
everyone at the bar watching tablet will be read by one of ten
me tap my fingers rhythmically. billion people tomorrow, today.

landlord me or me myself. considered then no. died, my youth rest in unease.
