i see a rotten banana frozen to the payphone. the same one as the last time we passed, and it don't give a fuck about loitering laws or the seagull jaws that will eventually tear it apart.
2.
burn every damn thing down and start from scratch.
3.
i think i'm funny when i'm not. stating the obvious like it matters. talking out of turn. always one step behind not much to offer. i'm a child, a simpleton, a single-cell amoeba, a bird brain nitwit. my personality is the cause of my own despair. i know what i am, i'm well aware. so cut the bullshit and don't act like you care. stating the obvious like it matters. talking out of turn. always one step behind not much to offer. alone. i'm alright with it.
4.
time flies. time grinds by. depending on the time of day. why try? lay down and sigh. this isn't goin away unless i drink it. a little bit goes a long way, they say. but they never met me. sit and binge, guts on fire. food would help but not for effect. binge and sit, shake and perspire. what the fuck is in this coffee?!
5.
how much time can i spend trying to find meaning in this burnt out town when truthfully, there is none? would it be different anywhere else?
6.
the sun burns my eyes. underground i try to hide. burrow in to the earth, but eventually i have to go to work. living through the nights. my skin is peeling. I need to get outta here. point me to the ground. leave me to burn.
7.
Old Words 01:00
i've got the shovel, let's go ahead and dig up the past. i warn you, sometimes dirt can make a mess and i don't know if i got the strength to clean it up. let's quit, give up now. before we dig our own shallow graves.
8.
stare in awe at the sunrise til it burns your eyes out. don't act surprised, sit silently and sigh. behold, the wonder of a new day! that soon fades away with the realization that i'll have to get out of bed. shut the curtains, close my eyes. don't ever wanna go outside. miss work, don't give a fuck. i don't ever wanna wake up. i just wanna sleep forever.
