No note
No nothing
Not even a cordial text
We had had problems
I know
I was trying to understand her
Feed her
But always missing
Because I was afraid
Afraid to follow her
Wherever she went,
So whimsical she was
I didn’t trust her
Thought she was naïve
Let’s go to Montana
Who cares?
Society is violent
Just leave it
Freedom is
Free will without apology
It sounds good to be secure
Secure in what
Get on a horse, a bike, anything
To get those windy locks
You detest the four walls
You refuse to leave
What’s to lose
If nothing is permanent
You can’t
Actually
Fuck up your life
From where I sit
It’s already fucked up
Lethargic half-assed nods
Towards ever distant dreams
Obligations
Tentative, cautious, gentle love
Your…
Job
The one you were
So happy to get
That leaves you empty
More wistful than alive
To a precipice of abandon
Follow me out of here
Follow me away into youthful mistakes
Into trust
Into the lives of strangers
And dirt, dead ends, and poverty
You cannot serve people
If you’ve forgotten
Happiness
Bitterness will pickle you
It’s already begun
Because you’ve purchased
Handcuffs you say you don’t have the keys to
I see them in your hand
I’ve got a set too
But you cry
Stuck
Preferring to feel hopeless
Easier than honesty
Let’s go to the country
You’ve always wanted to
I will take you there
I will stay with you
But I am feeling wonderlust
And cannot watch you languish
Honor the road
Or here we part
It doesn’t have to be good bye

workin out


zzzzzzzz

suck sweet breaths from the air
in the public balance
of negligence and care
easing out of youth is
unfortunately austere
shits just boring now
and we must try not to swear
dinner dates and disappointments
unflattering slacks
and tights with no runs
early nights and merely drunk
a television series hunk
makes the conversation
eyes glazed over words re: work
everyone's a fuckin' jerk
merging interstates expose
at 9 and 5
the ones to loath
the cutters
as the horns, they blow
just like being an adult does

some songs

sometimes i just let
i like to
on purpose
make my heart break
put on a song
from a long gone time
one that i loved with someone
who i don't know now
listen and savor the twist
in my chest
let it hurt
so i'm sure, at least
i've still got it

no poem

things are looking grim folks
i barely tell any jokes
birds are tweetin (really)
sun is shinin on and on
but i'm jus cryin
and it's been so long
i have to drink so much water
otherwise i'd be dead
pretty ironic considering
the things runnin through my head
like
fulla lead
seein red
no bread
broken legs
turnin into a .jpg and gettin deleted
etc
