-I could have sworn

I was getting fucked right

by the pearly gates and

goddamn the taste

of anything but

true love.

I guess a drink helps

I guess a drink before noon

helps.”

What a waste!

A silverfish on the dock

alive and beating

dead and still -

what’s the difference

to the likes of you and me?

Well, we’ll still be clever

crying to Elliott Smith.

Still be

a little used up and left.

I wonder now

if I was the real deal

or if

you just liked to come

on top.

-

A tinderbox

a ring

a jewel

two wise men

a bear

and a mouthful of dust
