I dont know what to do.
Ive been feeling oh so blue.

i dont know why i always want to cry.
sometimes i just want to die.

but i want to live, so badly, i want to live,
and have glorious kids, who grow up and give me grandkids.

but theres always this part of my mind
that says i don't deserve it.
I just dont know...

I sit at a two-top by myself
by the bar. I draw on the back
of a bill with a cheap pen I found
clicked in a foam cup upstairs.
I draw flat cars, flat poles,
flat humans. I give them swirl
hair and no fists.
They are all alike.
The bartender comes over and tells
me that the bar is closed. I hold
my left hand up to him and draw
the sky. I fill it with carbon pink stars
and coffee nebulae. Saturn's rings
are made of cornbread crumbs.

I blow a straw paper comet across the galaxy.
I felt like my poems were becoming too much, syllable-wise, so I wrote this [mostly] mono-syllabic poem. I really dig it.
