There are enough people
drowning themselves
and their loved ones
in alcohol

There are enough words
being used as cement
to bring others down
in their punctured
life raft

There are enough thoughts
constantly sinking
everything in
useless negativity
until no
positive thoughts
can breathe

There are enough
black holes in the universe,
for you to choose
to become one

Her hazel eyes stare
as she gently bites her lip.
******* beautiful.

My car broke down

Across from the mechanic's shop,
I'm bowling a perfect
zero
with the bumpers up

My shoes get stolen

Barefoot in the tire lounge,
I chip my tooth on a gumball

the dentist pulled
the wrong teeth
he said it was my fault
so I apologize

I'm late for work

My boss is yelling
about something

I zone out

I don't explain myself

I get fired

I pack my box with nothing
but static air
filled with three-and-a-half
years

No one says goodbye
No one seems to notice

Except you

You call my name

You hug me
for the first time
ever

You even asked me
to call sometime

There's nothing else
I can do
but smile

and be smitten
from your laughing
at my new gold teeth

You said
"I feel like
the Earth; heavy
and destructive,
surrounded by
infinite darkness
and nothingness,
light years from
anything beautiful"
I said to stop
being so dramatic
and then
gave you some facts
about the universe
and astronomy
an other irrelevant things.
I might have even
compared you to Newton.
I tell people
"I don't know why
she doesn't talk to me
anymore"
even though
I really do.

ants kiss my coffee
mug, coffee swims inside. I
am not a writer

cereal is glad
to be so sweet and crunchy
'til it meets the milk

leaves fall to the ground
and soak into the soil;
kids play on their graves
