Home Back

(written drunk so... grain of salt)

What keeps me awake?
coffee?
I start to doubt atoms and
drunken oppressive slumbers that oh! if only you were privy to
want to wake up in warmth
disguised words to other about the otherness to lead back to any semblance of 
a conversation about all that matters
disjointed disconnected segways of obsession
and the kind of summer solidarity and sympathy
and nobody tell me this was evil! 
I tire of cynicism and I tire of closed throats
tired of organ dysfunction
I retire to costume parties
to entreaty on a chaperone to notice you
or I would have done if this had not been the day
I didn't want to
to sit in the shower reckoning my merit
as one might be oft to do
