1999

against my will
because there’s nothing to say
becoming a woman
breaking their heart
changing your clothes
change
expecting the stoning
for mom
getting quite good at it
group themselves together
hope and taxes
how do i explain it - dedicated to John Yotko
i don’t want to
i must continue
if i care to break it down
learning more - a poem about my father
magnum opus
overdoing it
psychic
smart thing to do
written with John Yotko - stairs
these theories with john
trying to make this work
what are=we supposed to do
white picket fence
without you getting something
you know it
you would know if you were here

2000

After the wreckage
the battle at hand
change my perspective
changing city
a crack in the glass
Crush/But I Won’t
my dead daughter
from the dead
do i still
i have to explain
all your fault
Gears get caught in the mud
Genealogically
Gerbil
damned green
everything is new
For Now I’ll Think
Holding My Skin Together
HOW MUCH FOR YOUR POEM
how women look in men’s clothing
i can hear
instead of feeling nervous
Life
Like the Whiteness
Lost in the breeze
my second marriage
memorial day
Once Wanted You as my Friend
People’s Lives Were at Stake
praying to idols
the real bitch of it
I’m a Record now
scars 2000
Scenarios 2000
start all over
stop drop and roll
tapes the key hole
t.h.
Two minutes with a decrepit idol
what it felt like

2002

Freedom just past the Fence

2003
