UNTITLED
I tried to write you a letter that would fit into all the right squares
But I can’t
The only thing to do is draw honey colored things to remind me of you
Did I tell you? Today my teacher made me waffles
A steady diet of waffles and syrup and honey
And sticky molten glucose
Might just keep me together
Can you see where I’m going in my slept in eyes and tooth decay?
How many bleary borrowed jackets is it gonna take to get me home?
To a crummy corner building—
All those little phrases of mine
Dying little deaths
Forgetting myself.
