I think I might smell
Like sweat and spring time techno dub step
Chicago opens its arms with artistic innovation
As the past grumbles and urges me
Past the places we went bowling, shopping, walking
Revamping and redefining life.

I should probably be asleep right now
But I hate sleeping
If I had the choice, I wouldn't do it
Its become increasingly difficult for me to sit still
Long enough to watch, read, or write
Passing through glass to the next thing
With my nimble fingers I piece a life together
Full of the entities needed to survive
Sometimes I feel like such a fool.

I read such specific poetry in coffee shops
My lover pointed out my negative projection
It caught me off guard, but I took it in
I received more love and affection from the artists around me
Than I have ever before in my life
And it wasn't just because of the drugs.

I started to make a list on my way to Philadelphia
And it looked exactly like this:
