Dallin Bruun Poems

we watched Modern family
with salsa and chips
and the facts of life
and I'm sprawled out
...

as I step off my lawn
and head west on the sidewalk
into the cold night
first thing I see is Orion
...

Kelton is eating dirt
and the dog is whining
and there's an old white minivan
full of kids
...

the right side window of my hummer stopped working yesterday
and here I am at Brent Brown Automotive getting it fixed

an employee is talking to another on the phone
...

it's so fun to complain
I mean, we're taught not to
but people are most passionate about
their love and their complaints
...

It's my birthday
I'm 28

...
...

a funny face, a weird noise, a silly dance
all three at once
I love making my kids smile
...

I'd say my moment of greatest glory
was when the hottest girl in 9th grade
had her friend come up to me
and say she liked me
...

there's so many people in the world
and I only care about a few
I just look at the rest
they're funny
...
