It all makes so much sense
if youre a computer..
cant change everything
must keep something familiar
why not the thing ringing in your ears
lurching behind your shoulder blade
you could certainly do with the hush
the distant cry
can be silenced
by closing the window facing south
his face does not have to be seen
except in the fog of memory

a grip on the past
keeps you in the foreseeable future
the present is serenading you
but you’ve got the headphones on
listening to the loop

ive had beautiful women
give me the pink slip
before
that’s what I think
as I pull the vodka bottle out of the trash
after having putting it there
this morning
half full

you only sing when

you pull that glass out the trash
Steve-o

but there are Us's

that read

keep writing those lonely
innercity buses

I wasn't going to reply, because you hurt my feelings once, and I've been good and mad at you. But this was just too hard to resist... so I'll pass the buck onto the devil who made me do it.

This was very funny, and very real!
I'll sleep on it!!
