dancing down those streets wearing the badge of nothing
no one knows us
they won't know us
nothing matters but
the things we chase
wake up
breakfast
daily activities where you have a name
break

[insert break]

out into the open where i no longer matter
walk those streets with pride and shame at the same time
chasing, chasing

You are a thing
of the world. You are
smooth as looseleaf. I would like
to fold you eight ways
and file you in my wallet.
You would find warmth amongst
my visa and forgotten
Subway sandwich punchcards
I could stow you behind my driver's license.
I could show you to my co-workers.

every morning when i wake up
i hope that somebody has already made coffee

and i hope its burnt, murky, and black

so i can flip the **** out and scream out at the top of my lungs:
"who burnt this ******* coffee?!"

but no one ever makes the coffee
i guess i could scream at the top of my lungs:
"why isn't there any ******* coffee?!"

but i'm not the type to make demands
and i'm not the type to take a stand

i'm the type of person that burns the coffee
and i make the coffee every day

if i gave birth to ******
and sat him on my knee
i'd wrap him in a velvet sash
and then i'd set him free

if i gave birth to ******
and lay him in a bed
i'd cover him with glitter
and hold him by the head

if i gave birth to ******
and kissed him on the cheek
i'd share parental custody
and see him twice a week

this is the best poem ever
all the verses rhyme
it took a lot of time
the meter is perfect
there is not a defect
this poem touches on pure emotion
emotion soaked in lotion
lotion made from potion
potion squozen from the tears of infants
pure as the morning dew
of a scottish moore

that feeling you get when you know you've ******* up
it joins you like dry existence and the morning dew
cold, harsh, instantaneous, and unwanted

unless you need it

nobody craves problem or drama, but somehow our minds trick us into thinking we do
unfortunately everybody recovers differently, a grab bag full of medical supplies
how dare we think we don't need to justify our reasons of unhappiness?
what will we become if we aren't able to solve the problems we have from within?
in my world with no god I look like the biggest fool of all
I just can't bring myself to simplicity, subtlety
I do see it slowly happen over time, however
Making a lunch to take to work, being on time, putting in effort
Some nights don't follow through, but those aren't the ones we count right?
may your mind help itself understand through the senses you use to perceive

good eve

I wouldn't wish my life
On my worst enemies,
But that's only because
It'd be weird to see
A can of beer drinking
Another can of beer.
