the bone-crushing
weight
of being late
for everything
is suffocating me
it's been two days
since i could breathe
normally
i'm not even kidding...
projects
undone
papers
unwritten
tests
not taken
money
owed...
you're going to lose
everything
but you've lost it before
you'll be
fine

if when you take
an afternoon stroll
in the fresh spring air
to the library
down the street
and you spend your time
not listening to the birds
or examining the new buds
but wishing that every car
that passed
would run you over
you probably
should rethink
a couple things

stack all the dishes
in neat little piles
to make them look
smaller
pretend that you spent your time
washing the dishes
instead of in the bathroom
your head hung
over the rim
of the toilet

I haven’t broken your heart (yet)
not like

her.

I haven’t twisted your words (much)
not like

her.

I haven’t hidden the truth (often)
not like

her.

you say that you love me (but)
not like

her.
She doesn't read poetry.
Everything pretty I've ever
wrote for her has remained
unread like junk mail.
any way you slice it
it's still my wrist

i'm still debating
whether or not
to give my mother
all these poems.
i guess because
i know
how much it hurts
to be told
exactly how someone hates you
in verse
