I have been reading Anna Karenina and, in my opinion no one is better at fleshing out characters like Tolstoy.
The Best Part
2026 by Michael Walker
The best part of summer
Was jumping over a sprinkler
Tied to a green hose
In our backyard
And the best part of that
Was a little rainbow
The spray would make
A little rainbow
Seeded there
Among the lilac bushes
And the dog turds
We got to jump
Over and over

Jack Lalanne

Jack Lalanne is here
The man
Who can pull boats around

And you're supposed to say
How handsome you look Jack
In your ribbed trunks
All lotioned up
Your cock
About to pop out
And you're supposed to...

Go ahead
Call me
An angry purple-haired viewer
Because I want
Truth and
Transparency
Because I want you to do
The things
You were sworn

Angry-haired purple viewer
If it suits you
Because I don’t want
Illegal wars
And emoluments
Floating islands
That in the poor world
Would not
Exist…
Go ahead...

An Old Man’s Story

I write a page a day
In this simple story
I don’t know
What the ending is
I just
Write forward.
I used to write
In a fever dream
Like St. Paul
Blinded on the road
Now I squint
At street signs
And just
Write Forward.
I don’t know
What the ending is
It may take...
