Deadly German House Party Drinking Games:
drink every time you hear the song ‘Danza Kuduro’.
drink every time someone says, ‘GEIL!’
drink every time a female says, ‘du Süße!!’
Will I survive this New Year’s Eve party? Probably not.

you will be lonely
i miss your body
doing very human things
to mine.
i miss you and silent pauses
standing on a rock
outside my bedroom window
finishing a cigarette.
i want to be a cigarette -
the one you never finish.
it’d be nice to be more
than carefully selected words
and occasional digital reassurances
raking across your skin.

杀千刀
sister winter
go ahead and rip the flesh
from the tips of my fingers
whip my skin raw with gusts of wind
i want to bleed out
through all these wounds shā qiān dāo
death by a thousand cuts
every little disappointment
turns into a monumental failure
and i’m not so capable
as a straw-porting camel.

the best part about germany
is that you can get places. a few hours ago i decided to visit freiburg, a city which is about 2 hours away from Stuttgart and rather close to the french border and strasbourg. i got some books, a jacket, and a bottle of wine and put them in my day-pack, and tomorrow i’ll get up, take the bus into stuttgart, and hop on a train, westbound. i’m meeting with one of my best friends, so we...

let’s hurry up
and put every godforsaken human emotion
into clinical terms and chemical formulas
so we can feel ‘okay’ with killing ourselves
after learning we’re just a bunch of tingling molecules.

i want to give up
on everyone in the world
and stop doing the things
i seem to find important
and start fishing,
without a hook
so i can just sit by the water
and wait for something that will never come.
at least i’d be by the water.

i somehow prefer to lie to myself. and even knowing that i’m lying to myself doesn’t keep me from sustained belief. this self-contained paradox results in a familiar void-like sensation, one i find preferable to reality. reality is the worst. i really hate reality. if reality were a person, i would hate him enough to never say anything to him, and just feel the hot blood rising towards...

on account of the living
please, don’t feel offensive
in pointing out the irony
surrounding the circumstances of my eventual death.

by fallen anti-smoking billboard.

of ice.

i’ve been thinking about who kevin is to a variety of people in my life. i’ve been thinking about what kinds of beliefs i share with some friends, but not others. i pictured sliding scales that open at one extreme to my true personality, and at the colder end is just a list of things i like. i am fragmented, between all of my friends and my acquaintances and the people i have to talk...

sometido a los avatares
al menos no tengo
las manos que se proponen
en hacerse dueños del mundo.
yo era el bronce
de tu piel
en el verano
y he llegado a ser la palidez
en las plantas de tus pies
en el invierno.
los fragmentos
de recuerdos —
un costado de ti
la naríz y un sólo ojo
pequeñito y marrón
flotan en el aire
a la deriva.
y si una vez
veo a la mujer de pelo largo
castaño y de ojos...

aiding and assisting burglary
i’m trying to move
and i’m not going anywhere.
i’m running chest-deep in snow
and i’m not going anywhere.
i’m having dehydrated nervous sweats
that send dry beads
rushing down my forehead
overtaking the hairy barrier islands
of my eyebrows
and burning in my eyes.
i wonder if you’re going
to break in and steal
all of my belongings.
i’m...

archival footage
i was going to tell you
about that one time
i’ve decided not to.
as soon as it sounds a bit sappy
you’ll say something sharp
and cut out all the immaterial content.
you’re an unhappy
post-modern author
killing all my fantasies.
you’re a meticulous
coupon clipper
and you never miss a memory.

GUIDE TO LIVING ALONE IN 2011
I guess it goes without saying that living alone is not typically a lifestyle led by choice, but rather by crippling social disability or any other number of expounding circumstances. However, living alone isn’t impossible to enjoy, given the right resources. Therefore, I present you the reader, Things You’re Going To Need:
A computer and high-speed Internet access.
The Internet...

Verbindung nicht verfügbar
i used to check
‘missed connections’
weekly on craigslist
wondering if that girl
in that car
who gave me that smile
that one time
was moved enough to seek me out.
i am not a sugar daddy
nor the blond twenty-something
who served you coffee last thursday morning.
i am not a missed connection.

Translation of a poem by Sandra Martínez, posted in it’s original Spanish at Tenían viente años y estaban locos.
Dissection of a heart.
Look at the birds that are behind the crystals
with open eyes, dissected. All the helpless animals. All the birds without any shelter. All dissected. All our eyes, our souls and hearts. All...

AMERICAN DREAM
How many times I dreamed of not being different,
I wanted to be just another one in the group
and wear the basketball team jacket
so a flexible electric cheerleader,
with long hair so new and blond that it hides
her shoulders like...
