my own little world

0 posted 2005-05-07 03:20 AM



the must of an empty room
slaughtered my naustrals
as I opened the door in the tiny building
it had to be at least a century old
with rising windows
dark brown wooden doors
flat not-white walls
and a hole near the floor
that reminded me immediately of
dead rats.

I wondered if this was the room she spoke of
the room she and that scum slept in
day after day for the winter of thier pathetic lives
wasting away thier youth on each others lust

Of coarse it could be any building possible
any room
but then she had to have been downstairs,
because her legs had never
worked since she was born.

for 300 dollars a month i could have this room
this depressing hole of a place
only a homeless man could love
only a girl and a man running away from home
would want

it reminded me too much of some sad story
and I couldn't bring myself to reside even for a moment
so I shut that creaky wooden door with 5 locks attatched
5 reasons to leave that room empty
5 reasons to ask for a raise.

Ouch.  I just moved into a bedroom I'm renting for $300 a month.  Somewhat similiar to what you wrote about.  Only skip the lame chick and the sex.  Just makes me smile how pathetic I feel.  You're poetry is really cool.  Nice write.
