Selections From my Poetry Notebook circa 1997

i wanted to do more with my life
but i ended up just sitting in english class
chewing on my pencil
and staring at sally’s
long brown legs

***

i like movies
better than i like girls
movies are interesting
and they don’t cost much.

***

my mind may not work systematically
but i am still a robot
and i remember once having long hair

***

today
i remember staring at the floor
and the feel of her lips

***

in a flash of insanity
i began to shave my legs and whistle
while watching mediocre pornography
