ma crisci

.ma crisci

ma crisci
two flights down
slicing prosciutto
lacey thin
thinking up new
original hate words
to describe me
in italian
i look down
from my window
at the street below
and come to realize
the lady is an antique
dagger

brooklyn babies

.brooklyn babies



a precession of porta-prams

and in each one a little Marco

a limosine lineup

of future italian pinups

and each one adorned with adorable mini

baby chains

dignity

.dignity


there is no dignity in exposed guts
god how mortifying
all my lives, all my loves
(everything)
reduced to a bloody heap
in some stranger mortician's basement
hes probably listening to pop radio
and thinking about pizza
as he twirls my spaghettintestines out of
my hollow dead stomach
and plops them carelessly
on his cold metal rack
with the rest of my gut junk

ping ping needles

.ping ping needles

somwhere down the linoleum aisle

i can hear her, the ping ping lady,

by the sounds of her syringe feet

- tick tick tick -

in a sudden summer blur

cc's of appeal spill all over the floor

at my feet

bourbon cut cup

.bourbon cut up

bourbon cut up

worlds bourbon is produced

where today as much as

80% of the native spirit

still makes its home in kentucky

smooth as honey

bourbon whiskey

americas only grow like crazy

and the whiskey sweet

the grass blue

the horses frisky

the corn clear

limestone spring water flowed

water made in the hollows of kentucky

where the cold bourbon was born

over 200 years ago
