Goodbye New York

Hello Lone Star

To Texas with love

Letters to Texas:

Miss K. Maas
Texas Shakespeare Festival
1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX 75662

on the hour of the minute to the second; two weeks ago

drunk from humidity and hayfever,
a few more farewells for good measure.

but, oh the lightness.
but, oh the frivolity.

fortunes so tender,
proximity the only certainty.

this air is not ours,
this hour belongs to day.

Windy bed.

Salty strawberry.

Appropriately, my going-away party was at the Rodeo Bar.

I rounded up my dear ones and had a shindig. It was a hooot.

poem without sense

swallow the pillow towards the back of the throat wihere the feathers won’t tickle and the lint wont coat. if’n you’re ready for such indencet exposure then lean t’wrds the light and preapre for disclosure.

don’t stand too close to the wall, don’t look too aloofly around,
but who should breed comfort when you are alone in the room full of familiars and only have bottle to occupy the preocuppation of hand.
and walk down the path with expression of frown with a hadnful of pebbles and a ten note to waste.

sctub.
srub.
scour and scare.

little tickle

The best and worst sensation to feel is that itty bitty tickle.

Twirling a blade of grass in an unsuspecting friend’s ear or nostril; its a hoot.

They scrunch their face and grind their fingers into the tingly little place;
like bunnies.

i’ve never met a single person who could stoically stand for it;
the Achilles tickle.
