verses on versus

she's a bit of a submarine

[versesonversus]

one time in middle school

you signed my yearbook “hey matt,

when i say, ‘that’s really mean!’ it

probably is. have a good summer!”

there’s so much truth

to that.

[versesonversus]

you think of me here,

i feel you there--this is what

einstein called "spooky"

[versesonversus]

watch as she wakes, her

curls a nest of colubrae

between your fingers

[versesonversus]

isn't it enough

that once the sun was like wings

and wind carried glass

[versesonversus]

martin dreams of dips

exotic. asleep on a

pillow of pita 

[versesonversus]

For pedestrians, things remain difficult. The ankle-deep gloptraps that materialized on street corners Monday froze into little moonscapes overnight.

--New York Times

the lagoon on the

corner looms—no way around

so i guess i’ll drown

[versesonversus]

wading through the day

foggy brain’d & heart-tired

but then! your note—smiles!

[versesonversus]

but if you find your

erogenous zones ticklish, 

you must be repressed.

[versesonversus]

onwards! across the

expanse. for you, i wait at

the base of the earth.
