Ran fast today
Fastest in a long time
New shoes
Obviously
It’s no secret
Everyone knows
About shoes anyway
The new ones are faster

-T. Weeks

Just saw a nice car
It was a Porsche
A high end Porsche
Driving down the street
Like any other car
Speeding just a little
In the middle lane
Passenger leaned back
Bare feet on the dash
Smudging the windshield
With their toes
Exit after exit
Like any other car

-T. Weeks

Bikes and lights
Roll and weave
Crawl and dance
Through and around
Over and under
Portland as it is

Hats and pupils
Skin and paint
Music and bubbles
Magic and hair
Riders as they are

No costumes
No accountants
No baristas
No engineers
No artists
No anythings

-T. Weeks

Touch my ear
To change a song
Only I can hear

Raise my wrist
To see progress
On a track only I see

My thigh buzzes
Reminder from the sky
A new task awaits

Machine I am become

-T. Weeks

The gate agent is flustered
Very New York and very flustered
She talks
And talks
And talks
We respond
Blank stares standing still
She stamps silver stilettos
“You with the baby, board the plane”
Everyone agrees babies are kinda slow
Time is short and this flight is late
Frenzy-fire orders come faster
Spraying the frozen crowd
Her aim is terrible
The crowd crawls forward
Houston will just have to wait

-T. Weeks

Tractor-beam trill
Bug-tongued bugler
Surprised by the day
Battles the sun
Not a chirp
Not a coo
Not a song
Not even a note
More like a weed whacker
Or maybe a jack hammer
A very small one
Concussive
Tenacious

-T. Weeks

Deja vu
Smells like poo
Again

Real mature
Smells like manure

-T. Weeks
(Composed in the car in
collaboration with my kids)

Naps are magic
So are coffee
Good workouts
And magicians
