Footing the bill

floating the boulevard

the priests are saying

I didn’t know you were so far

but that’s where they were wrong

we knew all along

you were far out baby

so don’t get down on yourself

when you can’t stand

filled with cold cuts

and Frappuccinos.

That’s all you baby.

I need validation

but we’ve been such jerks

we take what we can get -

two cans of warm beer

and an earthworm for the toddler

we still haven’t named.

But you were so far out baby.

So goddamn cool you tore

down your own statue.

When we talk I don’t

know what to feel

it’s just these cigarettes

taste like brownies

and I’m writing out my

intentions on receipt paper

hoping to stuff it in

our cheeks.

Man. You were so far out baby.

I tell the priests

I only eat women out in

chateaus and only take dick

at sushi joints.

I’m trying to be far out.

You’re a lot to live up to

baby.

So forgive me

I just like staring at you

your lips and how

the whole universe

seems to exist on your tongue.

In confession

I do my best to see what you see
