Seems like I always end up at RR’s house playing this rhythm game that’s like OSU! meets Flamin’ Finger

Insanity

At the same place

At the same time

Same night of the week

With the same people

And the same drinks

And the same smells

And the same music

Looking at the same tired faces

Having the same conversations

With the same fleeting realization that we’re doing this again

Expecting different results

Winter Still

Winter still

Winter chill

Covered in bright

Covered in white cross-cut shredded paper

Bling Bling Bling

Pearlescent, iridescent, translucent,

strawberry scratch n’ sniff,

rose gold Rolex.

Paintball Tactics

Pinned down. No ammo. Enemies repositioning. Daring attack. Surprise victory. Weapon acquired. Flanking maneuver. Rocket launcher. Building interior. Hallway formation. Videogame defilade. Ceiling explosion. Prisoner surrender.

Seedy dark downtown
Unfamiliar Coworker bros
Delieriant pills
Social gatherings in a church
Nighttime alley confrontation
Foot chase
Hop on moving subway train
Lost shoe
People on train concerned/praying

So Cute

tiny scorpion
snips the tympanic membrane
while you are sleeping

Cable Crtitters

wasps stealing WiFi
don't kid yourself that they don't
change your passwords now

Silent Cicada

silent cicada
even the loudest insect
quieted by death

Natural mezuzah

a sneaking gecko
hears a squeaky hinge and the
crunch of flattened bones

Round and round and round and round!

Play a round of Plane Around!
Circle high above the ground!
Every lap: a happy sound!

Play a round of Plane Around!

Best new game that I have found!

Yes it's free! Let me expound!

Play a round of Plane Around!

Soon it will be world renowned!

Beat my score before I'm downed!

Play a round of Plane Around!

English Beat Weekend

Piano in the bathroom
Fridge on the porch
This is the week
We get new floors

We’ll be going to a restaurant
That's got drive thru
Since our dishwasher
Is also in the bathroom

Zynga created a game.
Boggle With Friends is its name.
Install it and play
A game every day.
Worthy of worldwide acclaim!

Seeking solitude? Solitaire is the solution.

Ode to Boggle With Friends

By ghostly glow of iPhone’s ‘lectric light
On letter tiles my thumb swipes fiercely through
Going for high scores until late at night
Gladly defeating friends both old and new
Lexophiles rejoice with newfound zeal
Everlasting gameplay and appeal

(full disclosure: I am a Wordie, and a Zynga Employee)

Morning Verse

Smoking,

car idling.

Spit in the air

lands on my forehead

in the fog before dawn.
