Life Immense

There’s more to do
Than has been done

Damn Morimoto
This box of ramen
I’ve had it for months
Should have opened it sooner
Delicious
Has your name on it
And the word “Chef”
In quotes, just like that
You’re an Iron Chef right?
Or is it Iron “Chef”?
What else are you “good” at?
What do your “friends” think?
Do you “like” this product?
Whoever designed the label
Was a real “fan”

Shopping cart + tarp
And bungee cords
Like an exploded baseball
Unwinding twiny guts
Never seen and on display
Fists raised
Above a concrete pulpit
Traffic flows until the light turns red
A new congregation
Settles into the pews
More sinners to receive
Fury and wrath
And spit and lamentations
And apparently a Mountain Dew bottle
Amen

When things go wrong
Give the WiFi router the bird
It deserves it
Doesn’t solve a thing
But sure feels good
The double solute
Feels twice as good
Before a long breath
And a little troubleshooting

-T. Weeks

How good was Breaking Bad?
No idea.
Never saw it.
Apparently the finale was awesome.
There it sits
Fresh as ever
In the queue.
Jealous?

Sunny little song bird
Dancing in the morning
Celebrates a pebble
Lying on the ground

Could it be a bread crumb
Or juicy little insect
Hop skip take another nibble
Hop skip fly away gone

Off to find some breakfast
Off to dance and sing
Goodbye sunny song bird
Hop skip fly away gone

-T. Weeks

Overgrown bookshelves
Retaken by feral tomes
Decades of National Geographic
Crown the canopy in gold
Buried Circus Cookie tin
Holds faces of ancient inhabitants
A house party in ‘92
A postcard from Maui
Evidence suggests all the pictures are old
Who prints photos anymore?
And these goddam creaky stairs
When did they find their song?
In this house of a thousand books
And about eighteen bikes

-T. Weeks

Last night
Not what I planned
Ambitions of painting
Blossomed
Into hours of watching
I love the Coen brothers
We all love the Coen brothers
Fargo is a masterpiece
But now it’s morning
And they’re not here
And neither is my masterpiece
But damn
Fargo was good

-T. Weeks

Have you wrote a poem about my drone
Not yet
What will you write

Can we watch the rest of the season
Why not
The finale is going to be so good

Something happened with my friends
Oh yeah
They didn’t want me to play
