Untitled

her dark hair flows down her back, she finds herself

in another basement in southwestern ohio,

there's a drink or two around and the faint scent of cigarette smoke in the air.

she takes another tan boy with

a forgettable italian name

and a forgettable italian ****

back to her room and locks them both inside

not much happens after that

 

some say she takes herself too seriously during the day

**** i say she takes herself too seriously during the day

 

she's eighteen and she moves to new york

and changes her name

and moves to miami

and changes her *****

and moves to california

and changes her mind

southwestern ohio is barely a dream

that italian boy is barely a dream

so is everyone else.
