Things you toss
Colin Gee
Fourteen beers 2001
Walmart tequila back of mom’s house
Empties into the foliage
Empties from the passenger side window
Your own apartment
thinking mistakenly you still had that wad
Ceviche on the beach in Vallarta
cold sand
legs in white shorts
Lasagna on the gag that choked you
gangbang on a roof
The towel that was for your body
Chicken marbella
bust in your mouth
Cheap icons through a motel window
adios Christ
bye-bye God
Books and Bibles with scrupulous notes
Phones and most recently
Bloody phlegm from the cancer
Food from three days ago
caught in the malfunctioning throat
Bags of trash into the woods
slow down don’t stop
Pizza boxes like boomerangs
Full-grown women
in rooms of their own
Blood from the gums
Unidentified lipstick from a drawer
Dreams color taste.
