Baloney Hi-Coos And Faux Cues Number 200
- The Perfect Wave
Category: Games
Finally, the lifeguard is gone
I head out to the rocks
And try to ride the choppy water
Sure I banged my head
Sure I’m bleeding
Sure I gulped salt water and blood
That tasted alot like tears
But I made it back to shore
I wasn’t trying to hurt myself
I was trying to see how far
My skills had improved
I was quite satisfied
Busted head and all
Oh and my fans had arrived
The cops high fived me
Then they put me in cuffs

-Missing Cookie Jar
Category: Food and Restaurants
If you don’t want people to know
That you ate all the cookies
Make sure you get rid of the jar
Because then they ask
What happened to the cookie jar
They don’t ask
What happened to the cookies

I walk into the subway car
2 babies are crying
It is 2 babies from 2 families
The parents aren’t trying
The kids are left to their own devices
And each one inspires the other
I start waving at the kids
And make googily eyes
Within one stop
The kids are no longer third rail
They are laughing
I’m not Hans Freaking Anderson
Kids cry, you console them
It doesn’t matter if they aren’t yours
Especially when the alternative
Is a screeching train ride
It’s really simple
You just kind of gotta
Not give a fuck
What other people think
When you are stopping pain

Baloney Hi-Coos And Faux Cues Number 197 -For Adrienne Troise
Category: Life
I have these tics
I repeat the same moment
Over and over in my head
Like a skipping record
It’s hard for me to get to tock
I have this tic…
I repeat the same moment
Of lost love in my head
There is no tack
There is no toe
I just repeat the same moment
Begging for a distraction
To get me to the next day
Weeks, months, years can pass
There is no clock
There is no game to play
Just suffering of a tick under my skin
I know you say there is a new day
One waiting at the strike of midnight
I just can’t get there till tomorrow
Maybe

You can be the uppity rabbit
I like my turtle status
I don’t even care about the race
I just want to finish and be done with it

I am all about pussy
Either trying to get me some
Or eliminating that aspect of my personality

The mice are attracted
To the cats food
The cats are mausers
What a viscous web I weave

Baloney Hi-Coos And Faux Cues Number 193
– For Jeff
Category: Art and Photography
A girl tells you, you are insensitive
That upset you greatly
Her advice was to read poetry
There are people out there
Willing to rip your heart out
Instead of surgically improving it
The heart eaters think they’re being kind
They will tell you how to think
About things that you should be thinking about
Instead of finding out
How you think about things yourself
I hope I’ve been surgically kind
You may never read another poem
But you gave me one to write
And now you can go back and say,
“Hey, your advice was a bull’s eye:
I just read a poem about me
And what you said was not nice
What do you think about that?”

You make me want to create
You make me want to procreate
Let’s fucking make some art
Or blow each other and pass out
