least likely

you drink to lose weight

i want to start smoking

southern comfort; a lucky strike

it's poetry--bruises on my thigh

where you almost hit gold

youre getting closer, i know it

 

teeth go crooked, grow apart

you almost tell me something sweet

next dance, between ****** feet, broken ankle

dont worry: it burns to the ground

the world wont listen but youve nothing to say

im getting closer, i know it

 

in a fit you take me to your first home

turn for me pages of teary-eyed diaries

tender, light-fingered: obviously lying

a sad necessity--but theres things left to know

places left to go, and well i wonder

arent we getting closer?
