Elvis

Elvis-

I remember sitting in my friend's, Emily Harmon's house out by the vineyards of Sonoma County. We got kicked out of the city limits at a party once and had to tredge through fields of grapes at night.

"Veronica" by Elvis Costello brings me back to independence.

I hear it in grocery stores and elevators and it makes me what I am.


Gwen Stefani running in her wedding dress keeps blurring through my mind.

I wrote this based on amazingly true events.


ICEE

Slurpees on a summer day, icees
of lemonade to run, to play,

Sprinklers in my underwear-
running around in the golden air.


A tribute to John Updike.



Running-(Runi)

She runs the fastest.

From Nigerian Kings and Princes,

and from Scottish men with ale.

From crack on the street, in Pie a la mode,

and from people who put her in jail.

She runs the fastest.
