HoLY CRAP CLAY… the CAT APP!
I want to make one that gives it right back to your phone…(that’s WHAT she said) it will say… "She didn’t SAY shit!"
Jen Erwin, I had a dog named Willie. She was a girl. I wanted to write a book about my family called…..
I Come From a Line of Women Named Jo. Because, well, my grandmother and great grandmother both were named Jo. In fact, they almost named me Amy Jo. That would have been totally weird, but kind of cool, too. Except I would sound like I belonged in the Gingham Girls or or something. Does anyone remember them?

Evasion. I seem to have to do little things to remind myself who I am/was/are so that I don’t spin off into some alternative version of myself and get SMASHED by grad school…. which, will, in a very few months, be over, and give me the chance to finally, this is for Jim… get some MONEY MONEY evil MONEY. Money is not bad. Not having any is not bad. Not having legs is bad. Having some seems better than none (money and legs). Anyway…
Warning… warning…. do not read this unless you are bored.
I wrote this a long time ago. It was for/inspired by my friend Zack, who I don’t see often enough.
Little Robots
Little robots litter my life-
the ones I found you declaring
into existence with names like
Hank and Izod and Rudolph.
It’s funny, then
that they could go on
to such distinguished careers
as guest host on the Orion Show
and substitute server
at the Hilton Banquet Hall.
Where did their weathervane dreams go?
Those visions of snow surely scared
and scarred their night eyes
for robots are sticky with rust
in all the wrong places
when they can’t maintain
abrupt about-faces of life
and all that entails.
My ocean, see,
rushes salt water kisses
across the night sands
and wishes to meet your
friends in silent agony
away from a model society
of toy airplanes and jaunts
into self-righteous spheres replete
with idolatry and quests for more
than is humanly possible to adore-
nothing will ever make them real.
The sincerity in your robots’ eyes
would break anyone’s heart.
I know we are beating the clock
for a while
before the tides take their toll
and robots don’t go anywhere anymore.
