1599M

I found the old scrolls

he found the old scrolls

I’m finding the old scrolls

he’s finding the old scrolls

I tell him about treatment

to make him stop talking

to cut the suicide chat

.

it makes it worse

he doesn’t know crying in the rain

is a tired cliche

.

another drink?

another drink.

.

it makes it worse

he’s screaming at me

.

I refrain from

blowing smoke in his face

.

he can’t drive

but he drives home

.

he almost falls on the steps

but he already said it

.

nothing is going to hurt you

except

women named Emma

offering to eat your ass

scratching your back to ribbons

.

I like the women

who leave their ashtrays

buried in their sheets

who talk about paintings

when they can’t stand

.

Christopher wakes at six

.

I have flowers in my mouth

.

.

you already said it anyways

.

my hands are still green

my teeth are still green

.

this feels good

doesn’t it
