2:42am
gives up on love
till he goes to the
bottleshop
tomorrow
will say ‘give me
a carton
of beer
it’s
new years
eve’
I like on winamp
that yr play all them songs
and yr click
clear playlist
and it’s all gone
except the song
yr listening to
on a vine
I‘m growing
passion fruit
might I put you onto it
hon?
the world is heating up
and I put a bucket of water
onto the vine
this morning
my bucket list
is only plants
tries a new six-pack
of undies on
in the mirror
sits down with them
turns left
turns right
nice look
I don’t like to spend much time
in the front yard
the neighbors
are in communication
with each other
they are like them
aliens on their way
from outer-space
to invade Earth
and I have to play AC/DC
to prepare myself
to battle with them
she’d look pretty
in a white petticoat
I’ve imagined
hearing Springsteen
on the radio
if I could
lie next to her
I knew I was gonna play
Tougher Than The Rest
Tougher Than The Rest - Bruce Springsteen & Jimmy Barnes
said ‘I’ve got a sore back”
sister-in-law said
‘could be your kidneys’
said ‘why’s that?’
said ‘cause yr drunk 18 bottles last night’
said ‘they were only light beers’
said to my brother
“the only place I walk is to the fridge
and back’
he said ‘we know that’
I said ‘then what’s yr problem?’
you might say something beautiful
and they’ll say
‘you’re depressed’
cause normal folk don’t say
anything beautiful
in conversations
science has ruined the planet
it ruined you, and it ruined me
from what we are naturally
now it’s ruining poetry
taking away its spirituality
with the above terminology
it’s not the beer I’m addicted to, hon
it’s lonesomeness
the poem asked ‘why are you trying to fit me
into the haiku form?’
‘cause people like that” I offered
‘I’m fine just the way I am
stop fucking with me’
it said
