You talk, I cannot listen
This night a poor decision
Rather bloom this rot
Than form a single thought
Close my eyes, picturing the house from Blank Check
Thinking maybe it could all workout
If I got hit by a car
You show me a picture of an alien grinning and smoking a blunt on your phone
I close my eyes
You talk, I cannot listen
Another shit decision
We found each other in this shitty ditch
Piled up the trash, lit the fuse and made a wish
Plodding/plotting of time and the lack thereof
You’re a swell old guy, you’re a cut above!
We found each other in a puddle of our tears
Maybe we’ll change in another 20 years
Live on unseen, spite as our cause
Reading the terms on life’s abandonment clause
A cool hat free on the street
Take a break on hard concrete
From the man they'd most suspect
From a dry dock shipwreck

Made up my mind: I’ll let it sit
I’ll keep a vigil candle lit
Left or right
No guarantee I’ll stay upright
Green or red
Backwater churning in my head
Burn down the house to spare the lot
Felt self-assured then half forgot
How to read
Struck-through mantras on my sleeve
Toss or turn
Grind my teeth and never learn
“Each figure, then, a phantom”

Let’s look at you up close
“Left on read by God,” you say?
Monotony’s lethal dose
Like the words to diagnose
Let’s try a different course:
Clear up the one last thing between
You and satisfaction
To cause a chain reaction
Let out more stubborn sighs?
Would you see it the same through a father’s eyes?
Nixed the impossible heap
It might be alright
Say “I will die young”
Say “I will sell tons”
(Or) sprout your dusty heirloom seeds
New growth to clear your head
Swipe away the dead hand dread reposter
Eat some chickpeas
Kiss a dog
