Andrew McMillan Poems

for the ones I never touched for the ones
who wanted to watch films who wanted
to talk who wanted silence and said I
talked too much for the one I saw
...

a day will come when
woken by the xylophone
of sunthroughblinds
you'll realize
...

my nephew asks if I can benchpress him
his mother's new lover can and often does

my nephew who once said my boyfriend was illegal
my nephew with his dad's voice and jaw
...
