1404

someone is drinking me

in deep space

only hope I can keep up

that I’m not too much of a

sour

or drip

;

someone is tying me

like gloves

around some epaulettes

and I’ve got a dull shine

and smell like cleaner

maybe

;

someone said

while smoking me

that it helps with depression

just don’t ash me

in the martini

what a waste

did I tell you

what I was

in a past life?

;

someone is changing me

maybe

don’t be so afraid

I was a fake basket

of pine cones

at one point

and saw some shit

thanksgiving fights

lounge singer loving

when it was easy

;

I was a big name

round these parts

but was hung up on the coat

rack before I got too

wild
