A day force?&lt;br /&gt;I could've spun the world into a falling harplessness&lt;br /&gt;What would we be without the harp to string us hopeful?&lt;br /&gt;I know they divide the scales into West and East, but&lt;br /&gt;all our mouths have different tones of huff and ache.&lt;br /&gt;I know because I put a microphone under your pillow.&lt;br /&gt;Oh my god, my ears still bleed when I think about it,&lt;br /&gt;but the Sun is always listening to me.

Bolo ties, ring pops, and hard-on fever,&lt;br /&gt;until we all sat in tubs, soaking soap into our pores like&lt;br /&gt;tennis robots. Who else has sat on a couch alongside the&lt;br /&gt;freeway, eating a carrot, roasting their own thumb,&lt;br /&gt;arranging dead bees to spell their honeymuffin's name?&lt;br /&gt;I could cut out the names of everyone but yours.&lt;br /&gt;We still smell like bee shadow soaking the eternal&lt;br /&gt;glow of stores that stay lit all night to spook robbers.&lt;br /&gt;Can you please umpire my next trip to space?&lt;br /&gt;I feel like all I can possibly throw at the sun&lt;br /&gt;is balls. Can you please tell me I'm not worthless.&lt;br /&gt;I have heartache on the thumb, thanks to this&lt;br /&gt;Wii Love game you left in the box with your&lt;br /&gt;suicide note. What's weird is you still email me,&lt;br /&gt;but it sounds like a spam bot, a spam bot that&lt;br /&gt;really likes me, which I'm trying to want. All the&lt;br /&gt;confidence I can muster is a fact about the Civil War.&lt;br /&gt;William Tecumseh Sherman marched through the South,&lt;br /&gt;dick in hand, heart on sleeve, marching to the the ocean&lt;br /&gt;with mucus on heart, heart in sneeze, ventricle Kleenex,&lt;br /&gt;chambers of heavy just beating like syrup on dirt,&lt;br /&gt;soldiers behind him with birchwood 1860s mops&lt;br /&gt;for the tears. Finally, at the ocean, Sherman saw&lt;br /&gt;Sherman after Sherman: clones of himself but made&lt;br /&gt;of tissues, bobbing and floating all the way to the sun.&lt;br /&gt;And, at this point in history? All we can say is "Shame&lt;br /&gt;on a brother!" All we can wipe is pus off a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;And heartache is the sun, and love is still a mythic&lt;br /&gt;pair of Aviators from 1968 that may not exist, so let&lt;br /&gt;the world fall out of the deep, dark dust and through.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3462368068967767031-8283352433113978260?l=hickoryassbags.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/feeds/8283352433113978260/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/2009/01/poem-of-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3462368068967767031/posts/default/8283352433113978260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3462368068967767031/posts/default/8283352433113978260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/2009/01/poem-of-2.html' title='poem of the #2'/><author><name>daniel bailey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13361787862466570073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tHVzQx0m2pk/Tvg6A9LWkpI/AAAAAAAAA2M/Gnp5X87Ss8c/s220/Photo%2Bon%2B2011-10-12%2Bat%2B17.39%2B%25232.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462368068967767031.post-6359685936819433202</id><published>2009-01-01T22:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-01T22:52:13.030-08:00</updated><title type='text'>be happy today! yes store go!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ag641EL6dds/SV25V-Jq89I/AAAAAAAAAOk/EhPxSfFV9sk/s1600-h/candy2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ag641EL6dds/SV25V-Jq89I/AAAAAAAAAOk/EhPxSfFV9sk/s400/candy2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286585324714783698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ag641EL6dds/SV247E4fhfI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Z9O-2BJBut4/s1600-h/candy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ag641EL6dds/SV247E4fhfI/AAAAAAAAAOc/Z9O-2BJBut4/s400/candy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286584862665311730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3462368068967767031-6359685936819433202?l=hickoryassbags.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/feeds/6359685936819433202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/2009/01/be-happy-today-yes-store-go.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3462368068967767031/posts/default/6359685936819433202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3462368068967767031/posts/default/6359685936819433202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hickoryassbags.blogspot.com/2009/01/be-happy-today-yes-store-go.html' title='be happy today! yes store go!'/><author><name>daniel bailey</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13361787862466570073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tHVzQx0m2pk/Tvg6A9LWkpI/AAAAAAAAA2M/Gnp5X87Ss8c/s220/Photo%2Bon%2B2011-10-12%2Bat%2B17.39%2B%25232.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ag641EL6dds/SV25V-Jq89I/AAAAAAAAAOk/EhPxSfFV9sk/s72-c/candy2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462368068967767031.post-5140564413187532790</id><published>2009-01-01T22:33:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-01T22:33:35.807-08:00</updated><title type='text'>poem of the #1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;YOU CAN JUST TELL ME THAT WORKS TOO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust is just a feeling that you have - Paris Hilton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a really big waffle.
