An Ode to Date Night

I said "here
kitty, kitty"
She starts to purr
kitty, kitty.
When I stroke her fur
kitty, kitty.

So good looking
as a matter of fact.
My baby she comes
when she scratch my back.

.....in the space where
.....there's nothing

.....something
.....(like the claw man next time)

.....or in the
.....warmth you feel
.....when the unexpected
.....stranger sends you

.....to a snail space and time

.....(there is no)
we give in this time

.....we just think about

.....straw hats or
.....soft dart holes
.....kid shoes

.....your pants are too short
.....your shirt is too tight
.....your smile is lanky like you

just perfect

How would you separate them drifting apart pulling each until they fall off of each's own page
You open the book, drawn each to opposite ends being pulled, you're not going to close the book. You wish you never opened it

amazing
and how retreated
even though the distance gives me its earful
of one car going by and/or its echo

whoopty doo

the sky is a big clunk of thick nothing
fuck the neighbor and his retro fitted motion detecting whatever
what does he think he is, the mayor or something?

oh.
here comes the nurse of the town.
I'll bet you if I yell "hi" across these 3 yards she will act as if she's deaf or something

It doesn't matter

this outside used to be alive with throwing knives and honking geese and green and red and balls and all

But tonight it again returns to the un mysterious inmate of gray and whimpering

until once and for all that difficult 3-year old says Mommy

until the car starts

You are going to be a hoot if dementia ever hits.

liar

My neighbors are all trumpers. I forgive them. I love them.

Plus it's night

one heart one soul

you think you could decorate it the heart
attempts to wrap it around something or someone
brings you back to

soul

there is a little devil that runs around
just under my sight in the kitchen
underneath the choir he darts around
just within and out of sight

he's red and black with skinny arms & arrows
for hands
he thinks he is playing with my vision but I
know better than that because I see him
expecting him, he's fooling no one ,
I swear to God if my candy disappears
I swear to God
