Know You Now

under your chair
i'm aware of the things that
you keep below your seat
pink rubber balls
of house paint I peeled off
the side of your arm
but that was when, who knew?
you didn't know me and I didn't know you
but I know you now
I've got one too
a broken chair that splits
in pieces; one I've strewn across the room
one leg still left holds the whole
100 pounds of me, the weight that I create
but that was when, who knew?
you didn't know me and I didn't know you
but I know you now
and alcohol, seems to me
the only reason I could talk to her at all,
my one good friend, if i could only lay there
on the tennis court again
and I know you knew exactly what
the things you do would do, it's so apparent
that the leg is almost through, so give me
one of yours and you'll have three and
i'll have two

Centipede

i made plans, somethin you had said
this is not a bed, or a house we're in
it takes me a week to not become my sheets
so easily i am my feet
i think you're a centipede
but you won't give a hand to me
i wonder if the gods agreed
to sit and make a joke for me
i can't stand how hard it is to stand
the organ donor van describes the skin
if you had stayed, i'd carve you in my leg
at least, but you're now gone
and the last time wasn't fun
i think you're a centipede
you wont give up easily
i wonder if the gods agreed
to sit and make a joke for me

i fell over today

i am a dog in the room,
i am carved into the wall and into
my own ugly thoughts
i am a doctor just for you,
pretend to pull apart you and
reluctantly you start to improve
with you until i do what i always do
untie my shoe, the dog will chew
i cannot talk because I said to you,
"i promise not to speak," undo the
honest incompleteness of my bed,
i cannot walk to you today
i am here almost completely,
just amazing how discreetly
i exist inside you like a cyst
i tried to take a drive
there is a parking lot i like a lot
beside the spot
