The girl in the past
ry shop with the ne
t in her hair
Is making a ca
nnoli for you to
take on your hiking
trip
In the woods with your
bros that you’ve known since
second grade
And you
may encounter dragons o
r ruffians and be
called upon
To e
mploy your testoste
rone
In a battle for su
premacy and access
to females
glued to the TV
And even if you are
victorious you
may receive many cuts,
bruises, and scrpes
And you will
require band aids and
antiseptic ointments
And
tender loving kisses on your
stab wounds and
when you come home
She
will be there waiting
for you with a
fire in her
eyes
And a
big fat cannoli to
shove in your mouth
And that’s
why you
Thank
God
for
girls

On your

You better
bow down and

Thank
God
for

I’m so glad I got a
girl to think of
even though she isn’t
mine
I think about her all the
day and all the night it’s e
nough to know that she’s a
-live
She says I
give her sweaty palms she
almost had a heart attack
The truth is that I’m just as
scared I don’t know how to act
I wish that I could get to
know her better
But meeting
up in real life would cause the i
llusion to shatter
I carved her name into
all the trees
Sang a song down
on one knee
Looking at the under
wear page of the Sears
catalog like when
I was 14
I’m levi
tating like a
magnet turned the
wrong way around
I’m like an
Indian Fakir tryna’
meditate on a bed of
nails with my pants pulled
down
Thank
God

God took a rib from
Adam,
ground it up in a
centrifuge ma
chine
Mixed it with carda
mom and cloves,
microwaved it on the
popcorn setting
While
Adam was like
‘that really
hurts’
Going off in
to the tundra,
so psed at
God
And he
started lighting minor forest
fires, stealing osprey
eggs
Messing with the
bees who were trying to polli
nate the echinacea
Until God said,
‘Imma smite you with
loneliness
And
break your heart in
two’
And
Adam wept and
wailed,
tearing out his
hair,
falling on his
knees
Looked to the
sky and said
