12 poems

md wheatley

Suspending in proximity to Kobe

As he holds his daughter

Trying to save her

 

*

 

Screaming in unknown faces

Because “music”

Then drinking hot tea to soothe my throat

 

*

 

Watching the world fall apart

On my iPhone

While reading Ishmael in my front yard

 

*

 

Riding my bike

To the beach

To say what’s up to the sun

 

*

 

Missing Paris

Because this time last year

We were able to fly

 

*

 

Leaving my old bubble

For a new one

In hopes to make it mine

 

*

 

Cramming old friends

In my new apartment

To find new spots for old furniture

 

*

 

Creating new scars

On top of old scars

Only to watch a moose shit in an alpine lake

 

*

 

Thinking about

That Gonz line of poetry,

If there is a God, he’s gonna get it

 

*

 

Dipping cotton candy clouds

Into the ocean

Like I’m God

 

*

 

Learning to be a teacher

While teaching that

Teacher is not spelled tegr

 

*

 

Drinking 3 double espressos

In 3 hours

Then taking a 3 month break from my iPhone
