Last night--
You just being there.
I never want you to leave.
Kind,
Strong,
Gentle,
Amazing.
I trust you,
Completely.
The only one I do.
Making me forget who I was,
You make me better than I am.
I can't give you my pain-- It would hurt you.
Promise.

I have no friends - I have no wife;
An ogre in a bog.
I have no love - I have no life;
But ****** I've got a dog.

my glasses resting on top of Gravity's Rainbow,
flying through the air chasing me,
through suburban station. I
am scrambling to get a ticket,
but first must get change, break a
ten dollar bill. I am with semi popular Philly
musicians and bound from train to train.

If it all seems strange to you, a bit insane,
it is.

I am fabricating truthfully the next great post
postmodern american marvel,
one
       line
              at
                  a
                    time.

If it all seems strange to you, a bit insane,
it is.
