Lester Bangs
1960 -
After striving in obscurity for decades, Lester Bangs still can't get published to save his worthless life. Even his High School newspaper didn't want his work. What a schmuck. He may as well just give up and move back in with his parents.

Mental halitosis
My mind stinks
Because I can't scrape off memories of you.
Trepanation is the only solution
Drill out my old life
And stuff it full of molded silver
Then my thoughts
Will sparkle
In the soft sunlight
Of forgetting.

Peeing on myself
In public
Is the excuse I use
As to why I can't meet your gaze.
Don't come any closer
You don't want this on your shoes
Just hand me a tissue
And walk away.
Again.

Jumping, jumping, jumping
My feet leave the groud
Trying to stay grounded
Like a stag that keeps bumping
Their head
On a tree
While I sit on the branches
Reaching out to catch your dreams
But I know I'm only dreaming
And there are no second chances
Just the knowledge that you're
gone
