First, if you can avoid it
don’t let them know what you’re doing.
Focus their attention elsewhere
while you slip to the movie player.
Mute the sound system.
Let the moment build and crank.
Unmute just as the start credits roll.
Smile when their attention breaks like a floodgate.
Enjoy that moment every time.
And when they ask, tell them
Stars Wars presents us with [...]

What if I gave my PS3, 360 and Wii to charity?
What if I threw all my games, CDs, iPod and computer into the street?
What if I piled all the shit in my house up in the yard and set it on fire?
What if I sold my house, bought some land out in East Ohio with [...]

I am not afraid of the unknown.
I believe that all preachers should be on corners begging for change.
I believe the Constitution is a belief on paper that our leaders have forgotten how to read.
The only thing to fear is the space between thoughts because if you look at it close enough you will know what [...]

It was like the Zeppelin song Gallows Pole,
brother brought some silver.
She was Italian and she was on her period
which she said made her horny out of her mind.
The next day she drove her piece of shit
all the way from Middletown.
We lay in my bed and she asked, should I?
I begged yes and she said Jesus [...]

Sleeping through a Sunday morning Ohio thunderstorm
Dog snoring at the bedside
My son’s face at the bedside, laughing
gap between his front teeth, saying
“today’s a stay home together night.
It’s light out so you have to get up with me.”
Then the sound of a little boy peeing in the next room
forgetting to flush.
My wife telling him to go [...]

I wasn’t there when they said the words bone cancer but you could see the syllables still echoing in his mind when he talked. He was always a plain spoken man, known for mumbling but always getting his point across by staring in your eyes until he saw understanding spread across your face.
I both [...]

I shaved my head last week,
bald, chrome
dome and found some
hair food made with olive oil,
lanolin, and some other shit.
When I put it on, the smell took me
back to when I was nine years old
and my best friend Marquise Wilder–
it smelled like him, like his
brothers Martez, Antoine and I can’t remember
the others names. His mother’s
name [...]

What compels
a grown man
to strip naked
in a room
with other men
and then engage
another nude man
in a wrestling match
naked.
I walked into this scene
today after my workout
and didn’t know how to react
So I kept walking
my head down
and grabbed two towels
which I wrapped one
around my waist
and pulled my underwear down
under the towel
and walked to the shower
with my head down,
the [...]

I was sleep walking through work
when I saw a face as familiar
as my own, a fraternity
brother I’d lost contact with ten years ago.
I put aside the professional
and put on the good times
mask. The one I wore in Panama City
in 1995. Back when Skerski was still alive
and he and Kohler drove that golf cart
from [...]

It took twenty-one years to murder the man.
When you steal a life, they will cut off your hand.
But if you father sorrow then they’ll give you a rank.
They’ll let you give a couple orders and they’ll strengthen your bank.
By protecting their walls, you straighten the flaws
that drive the human race into the demon’s paws.
Claws on [...]
