bathtub

Chocolate, melted and warm all over my naked skin. I'm submerged. I float.

I'm watching the clouds roll by as a breeze - clean, crisp, and new - picks up wishes that dance above my nose and I feel loved again.

I then remember I'm daydreaming in the bathtub.

The bubbles, to my surprise, grow wide. Little bubbles live inside them. Inside the little bubbles there are little dragonflies whirling around fantastical ideas waiting to burst out.

They want to feed on the genius of the world and the beauty of a sunrise on a brand new day.

The light of that new day reaches me, kissing my eyelids softly.

I mush my dreams gracefully into reality.

My favorite day has begun.

my teeth

My two front teeth fell out. I thought they had fallen out completely, but when I looked in a mirror and realized they were sorta still there. They didn't completely fall out, but the back segment flaked off, the way you can split mica into sheets. I held the flakes in my hand and thought to myself, well I'm really going to have to go to the dentist now.

Day Events
I don't want to go to the dentist in Korea. Looking at the dental work people get here, I'm not looking forward to my next visit.

please stop thinking

undressed and exposed
not completely comfortable, but almost
behind closed lips I moan and mumble,
"Shut the front door. Go to the park."
I said, "Go to the park,"
over and over again.
these words lost their original meaning
now, redefined, they are the hottest mistakes my tongue has ever made.
I lick them, nibble on them, eat them,
until they mean ecstasy
