reflecting on the moment before, would be useful only were it not already perfect.

i love you for the doubt you show me still possible in this body where you show me

I will meet you in the open air, & pet your pony’s nose. You will be

you’ve been invited, stupid asshol… to remember things differently, wh… it means to be human, even. dumb shit, you’ll always let someone el… handle it, whatever always happens

finally, without knowing it was coming, he got to die. it was great. like a birthday party clown, he was equally the center

I love how you talk Down to everyone In your poems Which, unlike fiction Are not covered

you are guilty of failing to love and understand me, like a dog is guilty of failing to speak or use

here in the middle of the bottom of the lie how obvious

now, I’m no Bukowski but my friends who don’t like poet… except his stuff, tell me they like mine, and I can drink like a drinking machine
