I'm Going to Depress You
Before then, guilt hurt
sleep out of the question
contamination, dark opened the door
long breath, Go Now!
less than a second, time to call again
afraid, broke, asleep, come on up
somewhere, night never dream, no pain
war faces feel fifty fighters growling fabulous
eyes dead, green grass grows
cold vibrations stabbing, rage reduced to this
soft on the sidewalk, pretending to participate
betrayed, resolution criticizes again in my head
writing to be published atop fresh milk
on the fly, failure defined
rebel, setback
accident you flew away
leaves falling down
fists pumped, racing off the car
repel forty five minutes later, lucky again
without falling, will not stretch
counterfeit call rambles round
prehistoric perm--nostalgic fashion
true to tell, never an issue, strong opinionated new life
deviate from the default, flipped on its head
lives lived, larger exasperation
refuse to refashion
punishing, refuse, highlighted reminders
old, called baby, turns on paper
getting lost, drowning, endless like tools
captivated, empty inside, punches burned
stopped in your eyes, green is too soft
perfectly synonymous with Sunday texture
I used to love, changed and wished
fear looms, stops making sense
it decides what we do
different, broken, insecurity, rejection, depressed
transition, without love, conditional air, hate by me
being my bike, reconnecting, recycled by our fears
floating technology humbled soft over and over
flying singular forever, descend downwards to the green gray chill
lake bottoms sunken among the kelp
dream, down, down, down dead diver's depression drifts
with a buzz in the brain, stereotypes celebrate saints
last lips lead me like lost souls
laughter logs the lost long-haired lunatics long
clap cracked and called and you do come
stood still, fallen far, see someday stupid
wa wa wa why, wife
grave glares to grind the gift this afternoon sunset
borrowed boots, backward books, left for denial
anger, confused, stupid, no good, put in place
over and over, sleeping in compliance, temptation
toughen up, echo, slap, claws, numbness, wait, cracks
Normal?
good generally air wholes, died
working, lonely, shadow, beneath
toilette, weak, melted, tears, purge
shame.
