FTA: Bramble Tamble Poetry Slamble, pp. 11-12

More selections from I Can't Believe It's Not Any Good! collection, c. 1998:

****

All the memories and fights, a mosaic or
sewn together like some sort of patchwork blanked
I sleep beneath.

****

How wonderful it would be!
How fantastic to be with you, or really,
anywhere that people give a damn about
subject-verb agreement.

****

Stop your crying. It's only the end of
your life.

****

Turn around. Show it all off.
Oh yeah.

****

Hello, old friend. It seems you've grown
some breasts in the seven years since we
last fooled around, that day I got hung up in
your yard.

****

I couldn't find a frame for it, but it's the
only picture that means anything to me now.

****

Because it rhymes with "vinaigrette," jackass.

****

Hey Nancy -
I'm just writing to tell you that you'd be
a lot more versatile if you'd wear something once
in a while besides that black sweater and polka-
dot skirt.

P.S. Oh, and Sluggo's shagging your aunt.

****

It's not commitment I'm scared of - it's you!
Put some make-up on!
