happy joe lucky  
has a low post count  
but hey, so did i at one point  
so that’s cool  
and these things are  
a surprising lot harder to write  
when the words are really ordinary

Growing up in America behind fenced yards  
the adults always said we lived in the best place on earth,  
but even when puberty hits in the midsummer  
there’s nothing as sexy as train tracks or highways.  
Even the birds in our trees dream about country  
that’s not sectioned off or sliced up.

you’ve taken too many trips to the gloryhole at the back of Sears  
yes you.  
it doesn’t matter that you can recite the chemical structure of unununium  
we don’t care about things like that  
hey you with your milquetoast nature and your bow ties  
you don’t scare us.

The weirdos at the hunting shop said  
he was lissencephalic - what the hell’s that? we said.  
He was also trigger-happy - shots rang out in the woods  
and he perched on his rock and yelped  
while all the birds took off in a clatter of wings,  
red cavities appeared in moose hide until dusk.

a rush of fluid to the head  
and a blast of gasoline into the engine  
and that was all she wrote  
my cousin’s friend’s sister’s boss got entangled  
in a tree behind a concert stadium  
and they retrieved a branch from his anal cavity.

(I’ll have you all know I spent most of this one trying to avoid making a g\*\*\*\*\* reference. If you don’t know what that is, trust me you don’t want to.)

Kid, it smells like necrophilia in here.  
Go fill your head with falafel and not ideas  
and quit hanging around in catacombs.  
Maybe you should try talking  
to someone in the archdiocese,  
and for the gods’ sakes put down that skull.

little goth girl’s wearing an aventurine bracelet  
deep browns set in cheap silver  
catch the sun and splatter it around the sidewalk  
Some lummox probably bought it for her  
and now he’s going to pick her up and  
feed her vichysoisse until sunset.

you’re no anklebiter  
for that you’d be the neighbor’s dog  
with the high yappy bark  
and the distended sphincter  
no, you’re no anklebiter  
unless biting ankles makes you orgasmic.

_You got it!_  
We have one basic rule: Don’t be a jerk.  
And trolls will be repeatedly shot in the face  
or banned, whichever’s easier.  
Also, it is not wise to annoy the moderators  
as many of them could turn you into an asshat.

These trees can put down adventitious roots  
in places no one would expect  
just like people sometimes:  
my aunt was miffed whenever we watched MTV  
and warned us about the dangers of sex outside marriage  
but then took off with a studmuffin from Toledo.

the potato bar was a whorehouse  
this everyone in town knew.  
each friday night  
the bras hit the floor  
in lace and colored ribbon floats  
and then the customers scrum for postition.  
More coming!

the clouds swirl into a vortex

breaking apart air mass inversions  
and kamikaze wings en route to ships  
this is the zygote of civilization  
this is the apex of barbarism

Most of the food in the Rathskeller  
tastes like fried dead rabid squirrel.  
actually i don’t know, I usually eat  
food at home and then go sit on the terrace.  
Ducks are bobbing up and down in the lake  
and I’ll sit until covered in sunburn.

When the butler rings the bell  
and it clangs into the hallways  
and throughout the courtyards,  
then it’s time to sit at the master’s table  
and eat daintily off silver plates  
and watch the elegant dance of the weasel  
into the last will and testament.
