creatures stir, yes

saw a squirrel
in the V of her arms
could have been paper
such a shame for green bay
but there he was, staring down
coal eyes, sniffy li'l nose, curled
you think i like this wind, either?
touché, you sleepy ball of fluff
i couldn't move my hands 
at this juncture, so i 
went inside of
my warm
house

it's not super fair, is it? 
but we're better architects
no, that's not true - 
it's not that we build better
it's that we, ourselves, are built better
no, that's not true - 
different.  we're different
no, we're exactly alike
but, have higher
expectations
i'm not
sure

higher
what am i talking about
he's the one up in a tree
wrong again, creature 
draped in mankind's
finest cancerous
comforters

black friday

  1. I like the "no that's not true" lines. It's funny how when you say something aloud (or write it), it helps you shape and amend your thoughts until you hit on something that's right on.
