  • A quick aside from me:

    I’ve gone back to edit several of my poems. Some, I’ve updated on their original page. Some, I will re-post. I abhor redundancy, but always appreciate the opportunity to improve. I re-post with the intention that these edited versions are more enjoyable, more impactful, or contain several mixed improvements. If you disagree, feel free to comment or scream into the void. I’m often wrong. I just also happen to be right a lot. Monkeys with typewriters and all that.

    Jokes aside, thank you for reading,
    Josh

  • five whole minutes

    My esophagus burns.
It was 
five whole minutes a go
I was talking to you
then five whole years
as soon as we’re off the phone.

The most confused 
color yellow,
desperately hoping
to find its place
on your dress…

Stay tuned.

  • As Always, A Privilege

    They held modesty
in the threads 
of their shirts - 
pretense in laces
of humble shoes. 
While gems dripped
from their mouths,
each word, 
each pea and carrot,
you couldn’t buy;
but would cost you
your life.

    I’ll bite my whiskers to that
toothless and ragged
find a bargain and go halvsy
cause valu is fifty-fifty

your favorite rock’s a bison
you’d like to meet Mary
your favorite tunes are sappy
but why waste the happy

without you
a shell of a man 
found a tough nut to crack
a cup and a half empty
do that thing like you know you’ve known me

  • I lied

    When I said
I was young
and naïve 
the last time
my heart was broken.
Every time
was the truth.
