I've had the wind knocked out of me, but never the hurricane

intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss.
The I’ll love you through a brick wall kiss.

I know
it’s stupid to not own a gun yet have
so many triggers, but in some other world
gigantic seashells hold humans
to their ears and listen to the echo
of machines.
I know loving me isn’t easy – the all-night
helicopter parties, the glow-in-the-dark haircuts, but when I look at you
it’s like praying with my eyes. I know it’s stupid to not own a gun yet have
so many triggers, but in some other world gigantic seashells hold humans
to their ears and listen to the echo of machines.
Once I thought I found love, but then I realized I was just out
of cigarettes.

The Quiet World
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.
When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.
