How To Take Cold Showers

A HUNDRED AND FORTY MILES PER HOUR WAS THE WORD PLAY

Hit
hundred and forty kilometers per hour hits that chorus



know if you can change the world


now after so long on the sounds

radio
insistently and should apologize for the ignominy

by
mediocrity of so much trash

by spotting fraudulent business
your message to the god of the market study

and still hits like a litany


know if you can change the world now


mea culpa stubborn and generational
with which we should apologize

by deception for the offenses

tainted by ideology and false promises of humanity
and figures and data

miles of reliable data probably contrasted

What Does The W Mean On The Pokemon Cards



The verb was playing

play life the way children play without fear
defeat from the first pain I inflicted
light to the last breath escaping chest hugging her days
their hours as their second Ivy

embraces the centenary of the oak trunk erect
as the sun filters
narrow cracks giving him light to the darkness adverse
