		<title>scarlet drops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[one
and a half baby steps from the ledge
sixteen and three quarter breathes from impending death
another life wasted
forty seven feet from painting the snow red
with alcohol thinned blood from my beanie covered forehead
flowing scarlet drops down the sewage drain
like every opportunity I&#8217;ve wasted
and relationships I&#8217;ve ruined
finally
seeing my mistakes translucently plain
never been a saintly son
or a
truthful
or honest
or even [...]]]></description>

back in your arms, you sold
out
who are you now?
a pawn in their game
oh, you changed your last name
thanks for the invite
used to start the party
now end party your eyes incite
did you just get bored or did the fright
of not being married take you over
follow your friends, you always did
now they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>skinny fingers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[flash in my eye, skip in my heart
stuck on her from the start
never fallen like this, somehow i can&#8217;t part
got me stealing kisses like Ben Harper
like Danny Devito from Anne Archer
It&#8217;s Always Sunny in Phildelphia
she defined me like an encylopedia
her skin felt like fiction
instead of friction, we now have tension
because Benson&#8217;s a walking contradiction
like one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jazz, sweet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Baby
if you were music
you’d be jazz,
sweet jazz.
Piano janglin’
like your fingers tanglin’ in my hair.
Trumpet blowin’
like your arms goin’ ‘round my waist.
Bass thumpin’ riffs
the way you kiss my lips.
Snare hissin’ a beat
the way you make my life complete.
Dig it, baby
if you were music
you’d be jazz, sweet
jazz.

to someone
know i will in my extended run
how long will my run be
how old will my son be
still unborn
he&#8217;s just like his dad: not breathing and a faceful of sad
my unborn lad, never falls for any fad, unlike his dad
he&#8217;s more like MJ, the boy is bad
this kid will change my life, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[hazel eyes for kiss one
turning her on with neck kiss number two
purring like a cat
her nails leave blood trails on his back
completely turning the kid on
kiss thirteen shades her eyes to a greener tint
he licks from left ankle
to right breast
left ear lobe down to the panty line
she already knows it
she&#8217;s fucking fine
bites his way up and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[four hundred a night
priceless throughout the day
you&#8217;re learning my dreams aren&#8217;t cheap
struggle to wake the kid
deep in REM
he encounters vivid viable illusions
palm his dome
shake his shaggy haired lid
twenty-two minutes after the alarm
dessert on his imaginary plate
curbing your enthusiasm like Larry Dave
she shouts as Benson contemplates
in his fairy tale land
it&#8217;s usually filled with
haunting hollowed hell-dwellers
but you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[cardboard box under my feet for an ottoman
t-shirts stacked on my left
dirty laundry on my right
beer and whiskey bottles in between
two years in this room
and more than two tears
what&#8217;s keeping me here
one thousand and sixty-two fears?
afraid to leave my mom
am i really helping her by being here?
or am i hindering her?
i have became a new [...]]]></description>

		<title>high road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frost in the rearview,
snow on the shoe.
Lonely in the heart,
driving drunk from the start.
You&#8217;re my only destination,
drains me when we&#8217;re apart.
He&#8217;s in repair,
never stood a girl up, but now Benson&#8217;s there.
Nothing you did,
the kid is just scared.
Confidence is gleaming between his ears.
You&#8217;re the best thing in his sight.
Eye sight isn&#8217;t what it used to be,
but [...]]]></description>

evocative expressions on your face
wit on your lips
sexy on your hips
depth on your personality
warmth on your skin
love on your grin
severity on your seriousness
how do I get in
when I&#8217;m such a mess?
beauty on your behind
complexity on your mind
argument on your button of rewind

sick children on your [...]]]></description>
