I never cared- no edit notebook poems

I never cared
------
they looked like green marachino cherries
two mirrors placed side by side
neon creme gooped on eyelids reflected into infinity
like a hell full of old hags

/puffy eyelids
--
you made me wear whale oil
until my chest hurt horribly
old brown pills made from pinecones
dry dust made me cough up sage wax
--
going through old jewelry
things you bought me ....
blue alice watch
juxtaposition of white pearls & sad enamel puppy pins
with or without detachable heads
--
who were you?
why did I care?
you had a habit for keeping things forever
you lived in a bubble of "i'll do it later"
you kept your face clean with brown soap
I cry still about the smell of brown soap
the way the bottle looked like a cylinder--
--
we are like pea pods
fuzzy green bored in the shell
guava eating by the oak trees
our childhood has left
I miss you brother of my blood
--
I never cared about loveliness
I wanted reality to drift over our stucco house
like a sleepy cloud full of needles
it would happen someday
gold triangles would seperate the needles
into windows for me to escape
while stepping through the membrane
of "the real world"
