Where can I find poems from Adult Head online?

When I Say My Heart

 

I mean

an emergency

worse than a clarinet

 

or an old man who just won't

stand out of the way

 

I don't mean a parking lot

but the pretty twisting oil slick

 

the waving arms

of awful drinking

 

false teeth

 

an unpopular child

on a swing set

or the least wanted crayon

 

sometimes I mean

a foil moon

 

checkpoint charlie

or a ghost

 

or sitting duck

Pure Bug Beauty

 

I attack with love

folded, my wings

crawl up to you

and your afternoon

I've been puking

 

You move so slow

a steady crushing hand

over my body

a company

in my back

 

Hide your soft skin

your sorrow in sunshine

listening to my eyes

they are full

of bloodful tunes

 

you learn so slow

old fleshy beauty

I curve my flight

under your bent knee

I will always die

 

so you can remember me

so who would listen if I made this into a song and posted it? I don't want to do it and get knocked down. Who's open to the idea?
