1. im going on a camping trip and im bringing:
a mind and a half
my teddybear
a deck of magic cards

im going on a camping trip and im leaving behind:
my hands, my lips, and my heart

2. ive got a list from my curled tips to my red toes and this is how it looks:
ive got a trick kite, a trick plan, and a tricked left hand
ive got love and a half
ive got and undecided top ten favourites
ive got uneven hairspray so the bottle tips over, spills out over my bedroom and holds hard enough to cancel three seconds ago
ive got words to play with
ive got regrets
ive got the future to live out
ive got me waiting for whats next
ive got ken and barbie, kelly, stacey, and all his GI Joes pretending to be alive
ive got details to look after, and details to ignore
ive got a blank mind
ive got my reflection in the doorknob, me standing next to a stranger, the one at the bustop and this is how he looks:
hes got eyes that wont look at me
hes got hands id hold before anything else
hes got me spelling backwards
hes got a hat identical to my great grandfathers
hes got two jackets
hes got a darling and a dear
hes got a voice 'worn out from calling for help;
his throat is parched,
his eyes fail,
looking for his God' (psalm 69.3)
hes got to be fifty
hes got my attention, hes got the potential to be the next modern super hero, waiting for his chariot to heaven, standing at the bus stop

we'll see what comes out of whats gone by
talk sense.

'talk sense, can i do anything to help you? what do you want to be?'
'a thief'
of lies, and stories made up in the laundry mat
