life is a crime that
we all blame on each other
money at the door
Ideas neatly folded in six inch squares or lying on the grimy floor covered in beer mud and regret.. poetry that inspires a dull throbbing pain in the center of the forehead. circular reasoning and deep insight. My only contact with the outside world. a panopticon.
If my sadness was a thing,
it would be in a musty cardboard box
with dark, deformed edges, water damaged
not worth stealing from my porch
If my sadness was another thing,
like something alive,
but only just
a possum, humming with flies
if my sadness was a person
i would say, "Get the fuck away" from me
but no matter, it would rub it's scabby boner
on my brand new pants
is that sufficient?
can i go now?
