you are a fire hydrant

Waking up in taxi cabs

with knotted fingers and

black lungs ash under my

nails “where the **** am

I going”

“I am taking you home”

But the streets are brown

and covered in puddles and I can't

see anything except my own

reflection in the window

I feel like I am drowning in

clocks that tell all the wrong

times and he told me I'm here,

but this isn't my house

“get the **** out”

now the car is polluting away

and I'm walking down foreign

streets with no idea where to

go my phone is dead just

like your ghost in my bed

“what does this mean?”

I wish I knew, but my mind

is terrifying with nightmare

creatures oh my god I wish you

knew I just don't know what

to do

 

oh

      no
