the eyes pierce
             from one cookie-cut
to another....
          seeing unheard

anger
        conversed in Cigarette

in midnight punctuations
          of commas and ampersands

          neon-like
"done-me-wrong"s
       and
           "you ain't worth a damn"s

a voyeur's dream...

        a rent's worth of reality television

the new cigarette tax
of increased gossip
              
          the solar system
of cellphone aloneness...

                fight your private battles
on your Mcdonalds deck,
        
                but don't cry
if the channel is changed.

Brian Sites,

The idea for this is good.  The channel's always going to get changed--it's just a matter of time.

You stay away too long, Bri

You've been missed.
By many.
Welcome home!

Awesome lines, Bri...

So glad I came across this tonight...
I've missed reading you...
