I leaned
and asked
Lord Byron,
"This is poetry, right?"

the theme of this party
is the industrial age
i came as a derailed steam engine
you were a doubtful catholic

the theme of this party
is the louisiana purchase
i came as a peso
urging you to openly weep

the theme of this party
is the enlightenment
i came as three guys infected with new faith
bringing you down on your knees

the theme of this party
is the american revolution
i came as all the British tea in Boston's harbor and


You dumped me.

persistent
Sisyphus
engulfed
in
flame;
saved
by
a
Rolling Rock

I haven't seen the sun in three **** days.
sometimes
i want to curl up in a ball and catapult myself
into her fiery core and burn alive in joyous flame
but for now
all i have to feel is my own cold loneliness.
nothing lasts forever.

i am a clusterfuck
of metaphors
i have a broomstick
in my eye

i am a young man
hey all you young girls
let's do what we do

i am a **** up
i grabbed the pan
that burned the biscuits
my flesh is searing
your tears are cool wet milk
