FEAR
FEAR FEAR
the things that i fear are inexplicable
+ primitive things like: cars backfiring
a footfall too close flying bugs+bogeymen
a ratty squirrel eyeing my hand certain music:
think the shower scene in Psycho psychosis +
crooked sailors in parks with hairy chins
the things that i am not afraid of: the ttc being alone
driving U.S. 1 through big sur terrified mother in tow:
what a girl! flying to Europe solo 8 weeks at 26 walked
holes in boots in Paris 2 a.m. handsome swede rings my room:
can I bring you a pill for sleep?
not afraid of Euro-creeps another slimjim pulls the goalie from
Pisa to Pompeii fuckyoufreak I say!
gritty bars in New Orleans where murder comes so easily: girl
lots more famous people than you have slipped on vomit in the
Vieux Carré as i bandage bleeding feet at a bar called 13 And yes
i am still alive +still not afraid of death just the:
in-between
the neither/nor
the almost made it didn’t she

Fall 2015 for my little brother jma who thinks I am afraid of: everything
