Bummer 02:59
Far too impatient To wait for the sun to come up I'm a sentence-wandering vagrant You'll forget anyway You'll forget it anyway Any word I'll ever say You'll forget it anyway Every word I'll ever say must. stop. taking. sucker punches To the face and don't even blink To say "no" if you'd ask It's a thought nice to think I almost want to believe in it People use umbrellas Way too often Have you forgotten Rain is just water? Maybe we could have a daughter But probably not! You always wanted a kid Or were you just kidding? Far too complacent You're already blasé But nothing like Esmé I'm feigning feeling fine But I'm nothing on Esmé She is singing I'm just humming along You're not hoping What am I trying to hold?

I get in and clean every scathe on my legs With cotton wool wet with alcohol My room decays like the hole in this bed It starts to taste like a hospital I get in and clean every scathe on my legs I've been picking all the stitches on my limbs to shreds I pulled out a pen/coloured over the casts Drew a stick figure of you bludgeoning my head I've got blank on this page where the colours don't run Can't catch it in a picture; your eye's motion Three hundred miles to your place in the sun No more waiting for you Two new holes/the side of my shoes Safety pin backpack carrying burnt out birthday backfired blues Good morning drowsiness, we meet again

Cold Oxygen 03:14
An open window And as I walk beneath Almost sure I heard your voice Almost sure I heard your teeth Chatting and chattering Pushing cold air through the gaps Your coffee eyes can't warm The winter you sigh out And you sigh an awful lot Almost sure I can remember Arriving with medicine up for your weather cloud Lonesome ascents up your staircase "Let me die alone!" - I wish you'd avowed Instead I said Calm down, call out, or call it off Come down, or call it off, or call it out Is there any better air than cold oxygen at the back of the lungs?

Hyacinth 02:04
Remind me again That there are actually stories that aren't quite full of death! Tickle of a trickle down the side of a face Immeasurable river to another made-up place Counting up all these syllables one by one Of haiku's rather than pondering their sum Tickle of a trickle down the side of a face Immeasurable river to another made-up place How 'bout stop sitting around all day Cccccccomplaining about all the loose threads How 'bout stop waiting for something to happen When you already know that it won't Hey you with the hyacinth hair Parade it, parade it, parade it Don't forget it

Pale 02:45
You are no paler than any ghost I have seen I think I've come across a few You're no paler than your dusted reflection upon an old mirror laughing back at you And Half-Moon called, he wants you back at home Before dawn I sit pushed to one side of this 5:30 park bench In case you ever decide to stroll along But by the end of this forty forth sunset I brushed up, reposed and faded on my way From now on I'll try to write down every useless thing I think Because even the strongest memory is weaker than the palest ink
