not enough

a window where a child can watch the birds
a cat plays with a bunch of strings
at once
she doesn’t feel fake or feel like a fraud
because she thinks she’s God
8 minutes in
tried to watch a documentary film, Shakespeare Behind Bars,
got 8 minutes in Caliban describes how at 9 years old his Tshirt was torn while being molested by the older boys in the
neighborhood.
When he got home his alcoholic old man calls him a lying punk and asks if he knows how much he had to pay for that Tshirt.
Within a year the old man is raping him on a regular basis.
Within 2 years his mother is.
Caliban sits in his cell and shares everything,
no blah blah blah scenarios,
none of those.
I couldn’t watch
I feel guilty for not finishing the film
that’s as much as I can share.
Hunter can be Kind of a Dick
I am interested in your painting
and I find your way of life appealing…
as we see him standing in the full vigor of health ,
the blood circulating in his veins
like two firefighters jacking into
a variety of hose configurations.
Today is defintely not an end.,
one door closes, and all that…
We walked out, talking about work,
smiling.
The Reason Science Articles are Subtitled by C.P.Harrison
With enough time, a hypothetical monkey
typing at random could re-present
the Hindu text The Bhagavad Gita
so why haven’t they done it yet? they have no reason to.
There are only humans on twitter,
deep space is not for artist,
and while chimps are only 1% genetically different
the new pope is still
nothing but a hopeless money pit in the sky
Where I’m At by C.P.Harrison
new scrolling neon letters, grace a new sign at the Korean Church of Jesus and Good God or whatever
because apparently, in North Austin, between the tattoo shops, the Filipino grocery and the elementary
Christ is losing ground.
Upon being sent home to my abuser with little more than a prescription to protect me by C.P.Harrison
autumn leaves to the right
sharp pains running up the throat
they’re both my rag dolls,
my battles, still here
just dying substantially
less than I
would be without

fifteen minutes is awfully slow for two trains going full speed by C.P.Harrison
she crosses
her leg across my lap
sipping pinot noir silence
for a minute
we share slow sexy-y glances
“they don’t even care,
they don’t know, don’t notice…
they love you, that’s all
a dog doesn’t give a shit
if you only have
one arm.”
is she talking about
me?
the beginning of a continuing conversation between adults about the world and God by C.P.Harrison
if you
no longer
feel the need
to hate yourself,
i can
