“In the morning I get out of bed, I brush

my teeth, I wash my face, I get dressed in the clothes I like best.

I want to be good to myself.”
Matthew Dickman

“I've hurt you. I've loved you. I've mowed the front yard.”
Matthew Dickman, All-American Poem

“When I dance with him,
one of my great loves, he is absolutely human,
and when he turns to dip me
or I step on his foot because we are both leading,
I know that one of us will die first and the other will suffer.
The slow dance of what’s to come
and the slow dance of insomnia
pouring across the floor like bath water.”
Matthew Dickman, All-American Poem
