Selected Poems That Were Selected

dollface

i dreamt last night
that half the world were zombies

but you couldn’t tell
because everyone continued

to drink coffee in the morning
and talk loudly on their cell phones

until trying to bite you when
you sat too close on the bus

the only way
to defeat them was

to pour shake n bake
over their eyes

i wonder what that says
about the ingredients in

shake n bake

i wonder what that says
about my affinity

for talking loudly on my cell phone

—

it

i spent three hours
watching “it” for the first time
last sunday

i don’t know why anyone would watch that movie

i’m afraid of drains now
and making pacts with best friends
next to castles

that used to be my favorite thing
making pacts with best friends
next to castles

now all i have left is cheese on bagels
and my stupid cat who scratches
the shit out of me.
