"Untitled #281" written 7/21/11

I don't like the words that rhyme with 'throat.' Mostly because I don't know anything about an oat I think that a goat probably smells pretty bad And I would rather swim in the ocean than to be in the boat. There are more words, I'm sure, that rhyme with 'throat' The words I want to use, don't. Simply, I'd like to wrap my fingers around your throat Hold you down with all the anger you have caused me. More time passes and I think that I have forgotten how badly you hurt me, inside and out. I think that I am able to bury or release these thoughts and feelings but I'm not And some say, maybe it's for a good reason. Bruises fade, bones heal but emotional scars are the worst. You are the worst. Back to your throat, though, I could never sink that low As beautiful as it may sound, when I clench my fists and grit my teeth, bracing myself for a series of memories that have scarred me forever, I could not waste such energy on you. I've got my pen and I've got my pad and I've got the words that I use as weapons. Simply, that's just good enough.
