Now I’m drinking
from a dusty mug.
She makes eye contact only with the clock on the wall.
Sometimes I try to smile but my mouth only pulls at the corners.
Every face I draw has black eyes.
And now we move on to the final act!
I still stare into my coffee.
It’s all the same no matter how you read it.
But she loved me forlornly,
and got in my head.
Peanut Butter for Breakfast (nonsense)
Frankie honey
I can’t kiss you
I ate peanut butter for breakfast
I wake up blank
the ceiling never changes
I wake up staring
I wake up to baptismal rain
but with unknown cuts and forgotten bruises
I wake up dirty
dual duel
two fights two foes
a nonsense duet
instead of dying
I’ll move inside a song
maybe a mattress or a flashlight
remember to water your houseplants
turn off the tv
the dog shakes with music when you leave
I wonder what I’ll forget
how much of me
is memory?
what will you mean
how do you spell that
I’d like to write it down
airborne wishes
they bomb my windshield
more reliable than anything
exist in obscure states
dissolve in the seam
write, child, and like a child, write
give me the shot
wait - quick, give me two
I laugh at vaccines

They're off doing drugs
I've never heard of before
okay but zoomed out

boring
sometimes people
just don't feel
the same way
more like this
people talking
side-eyeing each other
outsides and insides
why do I suck at drawing hands?
Shift there
closer together
and to the left
"I had a dream last night that I was a spy/hitman in dark sunglasses
running around D.C. stealing cars."
How do you even draw an elbow?
I need a new pen.
Time is passing,
refill your glass and your conversation
Why do we need a new year to make a resolution?
Dr. Awkward has entered the building.
Leave me Alone.
There are
moments of tension
b/w what is said and what is seen.
understated.
mirrors and blank faces.
I envy statues.
Champagne Travesty.
Cupcake Wine.
I have nothing here.
Has it become so hard
so wrong
for me to keep my nothing?
Do you love easily?
yes and no.
Who the fuck are you?
This might sound a little strange...
you were in my dream
and then I took you out of it with me.
the only way to get better at drawing faces is to draw more of them.
Get me out of here
I have cabin fever
We're sick of casting shadows,
of blocking out the light
Your startup disk is almost full.
I would like to be left alone, from now until forever thank you very much.
