Rain pitter patter
on the pane
Torn and tattered
are my clothes
Nothing mattered
When you’d fold
Splitter splatter
Are my tears
Warm and shattered
Far below
Blue and battered
All for you
And now I can’t remember your name
But I really liked when you threw me bones
Your words held weight and I think you looked at me through the eyes of a thief of which there is no greater compliment
But I can’t remember your name
Though I can clearly see your face
And it’s not particularly spectacular but it is one I can’t misplace
Yet I can’t remember your name
Even though I sat across from you so many times in a sticky honey daze
Tell everybody how you see owls when you go to sleep
Tell him how the moon blinks and talks to you at night
Hum of the fan
Beeping intermittent
Your hand in my hand
All is forgiven
No stars
Just noise

Read from my book
I say what I like
I dress like the 80s
I'm 35
I think I'm better
than anyone who breathes
Im just a man
who can't stand to see

I know
Give me please
I am tired
It’s okay
You want broccoli
