We Can Smell Invisible
by dirk michener
Sometimes people can smell ghosts – or god or a miracle happening
Moving around doing invisible business
Producing it’s own rankness between sulfur and plasma
Much like lightening- invisibility strikes
It’s a little funky
Like baking cookies and boiling down cabbage.
I can home one day and the apartment smelled like garbage
& I says, [...]

My Private Beard
by dirk michener
today i began growing my beard
its at sandpaper level
girls don’t like beards
too much like their privates
my beard is very private no
keeps to itself
girls don’t like kissing their privates
unless they’re queer
then they’ve no reason to kiss me
one who has a private beard

by dirk michener
All my friends are dead
I come to the graveyard every single day
Talk to the gravestones and mothermary’s

Why did all my friends die?

Some days you have to make a terrible decision
Sometimes it’s about money
Sometimes it’s [...]

Johnson City is the Best City
by Dirk Michener
LBJ was into aquacars
He had a whole fleet of them
And trucks
Aquatrucks
They converted into boats and you could motor around the lake
Drive right across a ravine or a fjord
He would go for a drive down one of his dusty old ranch roads
Going about 100 miles-per-hour straight toward a crick
The [...]

Have you ever seen a bird try and pick up an orange?

trys and grip it w/ little bird feet
and fly
but it just flaps there
w/ orange on ground
then another bird comes along to help
both birds grasping at the orange and flap
flip flapping away and not [...]
