Crank (Crank 1)

where the color of

your jacket might

mean your life, wrong

night, wrong time.

It’s not the best

neighborhood, but

hey, come along.

I Opted Out

Long trip,

long day,

no thanks,

I’ll stay.

Okay.

Not Quite Silent

The empty boxes

Dad imagined

rooms.

Glurp … glurp … glurp

Hot drops into

deep kitchen

stainless.

Plunk.....plunk

Cool drips on

chipped bathroom

porcelain.

Chh-ka-chh

Sleepy branches

scratching bedroom

glass.

You crazy sonofabitch!
