All the stories of love are just stories
told by the old and young wienies in the loving room
it's clear,
with any sense at all,
that love is just as watered down, dull, and *******
as all its users
The threat of nonexistence does not frighten
only the journey there
and the inconvenience of it all
days ago I trotted to my kitchen
from my desk for a glass of water
drinking only half
and leaving the rest to
bubble over
and become stale
now as I write
the glass remains
but is slowly
fleeting
The apartment is not yet broken in
a rice cooker softly steams on the counter
there is grease splatter on the stove
12 pack of burgers $7.99 at the store
one chair in the living room
grandmas old sitting chair where she would knit
hairspray stains on the back
2 bedrooms
one with a bed
one with nothing
childish games
disguised as grownup work
the things we all do for money
and justification
and purpose
not coming from our own mind
but others
the greatest share game
we were never ourselves
but at least we shared alot
love
is a four letter word
said, and put on display just like the others
for publicity
and self gain
Certainty lies awake at night inside a lady
second guessing the choices already made
and the choices to come
it wears so many living masks
and even in the sunshine and happiness times
and all the work that's been done
is done with no thought
answers negating answers
direction for directions sake
living for certainties place
