reminds me of frank o'hara in a few places. sometimes funny or crude, then suddenly achingly tender.
from "sunshine belt machine":
i take care of myself okay
like a baby something
like a mama something
& my eyes
dressed like candy
big as the moon
& it's fine to be full
of pretty much anything
just for a while i love life i love being
alive one day after another
forever. what's next.

maybe the first section doesn't quite click into place as well as the second two, but damn, if that last poem doesn't floor me on each read!

All the best poetry books should be dark, funny and a little bit sexy, just like this one
