I’m currently sitting in the coldest clinic, Across from, probably, the cheapest Mexican restaurant in Western Arizona. The floors are sterile white, And I giggle at the thought of you recognizing the irony Of my emptiness. The walls are also white and look slick with Lysol. They radiate that dampness that I swear that they smell like loneliness, We didn’t make love, So much as **** in the dirt, But the truth is I’d rather wake up hot in the afternoon on the dirt and the ground (After you’ve already left) Than wake up next to The wrong person in the wrong bed. From earthy and raw so quickly to empty and white.
