You me the dog our kids
White fence
Two cars kids toys
Elvis on the radio
Wonderbread and bananas
Pinesol on hand / Folger's at wake
A granite island counter
Our lives are now a life
Our lives
Fat red bowtie on 'em
We're yamaha piano keys played all night
Presents under the tree
Pantry stocked; cars washed; bedtime;
And now becoming domesticated
Isn't as nightmarish
As we thought
It would be
In college

It's bliss & bliss & bliss &
Going well & better
than Mom n Dad
& saccharine &
Dreamy
nice 2D hour-glass figure. RIP wonderbread ;(

I am a miserable ****.

Traffic jam thoughts.
Aimless speech.
Fever dreams,
coffee with no cream,
love with no pulse,
alone at restaurants,
            at grocery stores,
            at parties.

I have no identity.

Shifting shape, black to blue,
trading girls, red hair for Persian skin,
parents and gods,
politicians and lost purpose mobs,
all asking me to be sacred,
                            to be loving,
                            to be trusting,
                            to be active,
                            to have no spine.

All I want is a bit of my own time.

A grenade of change,
to end the coagulation of my brain,
to leave me hungry for anything
other than me,
didn't somebody say I was promised something?
                                            I was going somewhere?
                                            I was unique?

I am the same miserable ****,

As every other miserable ****.

The ******* that cut you off on Highway 62,

The person that complained about too many pickles,
on his precious fast food,

The boy yelling at his baby sister for getting too much attention,

The girl sexting your boyfriend,

The boy sexing your girlfriend,

The generation divorcing everyone it knows so it can fall in love with

itself.

All different,
in exactly the same way.

Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.
                   Traffic jam thoughts. Traffic jam thoughts.
            trafficjamthoughts. traffic. Traffic Jam Thoughts. Thoughts.
Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Jam.
thoughts. traffic. trafficjam. trafficjam. traffic jam thoughts.traffic.
traffic jam. traffic, traffic, traffic. I am a miserable ****. Traffic jam.

some people - they don't like the way i talk and
they don't like the way i walk and
that's the way it's gonna be.
the way you dress ain't right because your
clothes don't fit as tight or your
shoes, they ain't quite what everybody's got.
and your voice is just too loud and your
hair is just too different and your
taste in music?
it's a little off
off tempo with the crowd.

but find someone who digs ya and then you can say,
"well, **** 'em.
i've got you and you're
like me,
and together we can be
happy,"
and then you are.
you smiled inside of me today
you crawled in through my eyes
and pulled my lips wide

you slid down my body
and tickled me from the inside
nestling into my side

i swrilled around myself
giggling as I went
following your tiny footsteps

you then split in two
swimming up my arms and hands
lighting fires in my fingers

then you waltzed with purpose
up the stairs of my spine
and rested in the centre of my chest

hugging my heart and winking
" this is mine."

There is one in every corner of this building.
I just want to be alone.
Go find another one.
Dumb *******.
Her beautiful memories she kept in a box.
A box in her closet, inside it a lock. 
A lock of red hair from someone she knew,
from someone she loved when he was brand new.
 
She gave him her heart before he was born ,
she never thought twice, it was his all along. 

A little small shoe lay next to the lock,
and next to the shoe was a little small sock.
The sock to remind her of ten little toes.
The shoes to remind her that someday he'd go.

She gave him her heart, She knew he would break it.
She never thought twice, he'd need it to make it.

Last in the box was a photo of him,
his clothes all a mess, and that silly grin. 
She loved him now like she loved him then,
In her eyes he could do no sin.
 
She gave him her heart before he was born.
She never thought twice, it was his all along.
 
What beautiful memories he keeps in his heart,
the one that she gave him before he was born.

i swear we were something
and if i could sing it, i would
along to the bare strumming of guitar strings.

i can't feel better, and it's
because you care.

the monosyllabics are all i can muster right now,
and the hurt in your eyes -
oh god.
we've been here before and it's
always the same -
our words just circling,
too little for what we feel.

you don't know what it's like,
not being able to feel better.

not being able to feel anything.

my heart is mountains and valleys
and this is a ravine.
