When I see your face
I cant help but smile
I have to remind myself
We both have changed
And it will never be the same

All these cerebral verses are giant boulders,
hurled up out of the volcano of day to day living,
coming to rest in haphazard arrays;
too hard, heavy, and awkward
to push into perfectly aligned stanzas.

Jenga is hard when

you realize
it’s your fault
that the tower
came tumbling down

title: it’s hard to write love poems

Explaining Andy Kaufman
and the carousel of stars around
a fixed North Star you impersonate
a guarantee.

Falling in like, I sit Indian-style and
my left foot falls asleep while
the horses in the fields debate whether
it’s a hoax

or not. Because while you explain
Andy Kaufman, I am hardly in a hurry.
The sun hisses to the Snake River before
this moon man

fools me into believing he’s ailing and
spinning from his North Star. You
squeeze my hand and wonder which
way is up

in our skewed galaxy. I’ve never
thought of it that way but falling
into like on dirt roads that lead

to the same places paved ones
do threatens the retention of
clichés. They may wrestle out,
kicking up sand in my eyes to
defeat the strongest woman in the world.

all
smiles and laughs
when inside
you’re crumbling
-about to crack

it was hard not to laugh
When the waiter believed
That we were from England
What a plan we conceived!
He was fine when we told him
He gave us free pie!
I love Marie Calendars!
And that one waiter guy!
