OnlyHere (to Isaac)

I used to

Run in the

Rain naked and

Now I watch

Those that do

With heavy sadness

Not because of

Their self expression

But because of

Mine mine lies

Here only here

It is in

The knowing the

Culpability that ones

Life regards another

That this one

Singular life means

Anything

Please America take

Us back from

Anarchy and hatred

And give us hope

That tomorrow will

Be better today

Thieves (to Bean)

Do you know

By now that

When I’m not

Thinking of anything

That that is

When thinking of

You sneaks in

Like when you

Sneak into my

Room and out

Of yours like

When you eat

From my plate

When I use

The restroom noticing

Upon my return

A Cheshire Cat

Smile on your

Face and less

On my plate

I guess we

Are both thieves

StormTroopers (to Conor)

It’s been brief

But saturating like

The cloud bursts

Over Honolulu once

A deluge yet

Quickly sun you’ve

Become less a

Distraction and more

Of an occupation

Like I’ve been

Invaded by loves

Very storm troopers

If (to Myles)

If when and

If how and

If who will

You then know

When and how

And who or

Do you do

Nothing and waste

Striking that last

Match remembering warmth

Instead of creating

It accepting the

Chill of hesitation
