1.
i ran out of shaving cream
about a month ago
and i’ve been using lotion instead
there are parts of my body
i haven’t shaved in a while
but i want to
and i need to—-soon
but i need to buy more shaving cream first

2.
i noticed
that you’re beginning to grow out your facial hair
and i don’t think i like it
and i think the reason why
is that it reminds me
that if i reach my hand up
i can feel my own hair protruding from my chin

3.
my brother told me the other day
that he was finally starting to grow armpit hair
and that he was proud of it
he showed it to me
and i told him that it was nasty
i’m sorry for that

Scrambled eggs can’t grasp
Get your neighbor out my pants
Outside, get out my way.

Valentine’s Day

Cupid-shaped cookies,
chocolate cupcakes,
conversation hearts,
all a part of this holiday
in February.  I made
my Valentine box,
covered it in white paper,
with pink and “violet red”
decorations.  After
we delivered cards
to our classmates,
Missy Johnson just threw
hers into the trash.  Why
couldn’t she be happy,
and enjoy everything?

love might split you apart,
a thousand hearts,
chambers unchambered
to bleed in a field.
and so might a dagger,
and so might a wolf’s teeth.
so pray that a wolf loves you,
and pray harder
now that it has the taste of a prince on its tongue.
