Dallin Bruun Poems

I'm so unstable
I mean, I took second in poker last night
and I was pissed because it was 2 in the morning
and it was going to throw my
...

there's lots of different lunches and dinners
but I eat one thing for breakfast:
cold cereal
...

I catch myself forming elaborate opinions
glancing at strangers walking to class

and maybe that's why nobody stares
...

we wanted to see a 30 acre property
up South Fork Canyon
owned by some rich dude
who we scheduled to meet
...

last night I woke up with a weird headache
like there was a poisonous marble
lodged in my brain
...

I skied my whole life
green circle
to blue square
to black diamond
...

I still like to play with cars
especially hangers
which I pretend are a part car
part ski thing
...

I remember making my move
you were so young
and cute
sitting there with your family every week at church
...

whenever someone's rude
I'm never rude back to my full potential
and I come home
and think about what I should have said
...

I know we're supposed to be nice and all
but most people eventually bother me
and I'm sure I bother them
...
