Adam Smith's Grave

I love the number 9
not for its value
but for its spelling
much like I love
human faces

one dog barks
they all do

Sleeping Through Russell

sure as it's wrong
any physical law has a chance
if there were no reality
in a real world

the great philosophers
and addicts
will tell you
keep your distance
everyone likes a story

it's scary to be a poet
there's lot's of blood
and those who were
might still be

I'm sick of being
myself last night
we went to watch
the sunset something
I usually don't do
