The smallest of losses feels like an
earthquake in your bones
an earthquake.
The smallest of losses feels like an
earthquake in your bones when you’re
under a microscope and you can’t shake
the feeling that you won’t get out alive.

casino lights buzz.
hearts vibrate. non-committal
words are all we’ve got.
mark twain
Two streets over there’s a little boat
for sale called ‘Mark Twain.’
It’s a beaten up little motor boat
and it comes with a trailer.
Cute as hell.
I’d love to take it out on the water.
But, I live in the desert.
My car doesn’t have a hitch.
I can’t swim.
The sign says, “Call Gary.”
I wonder if Gary can help.
