listless



not feeling
so 
much 

of a 
muchness
anymore

I can't 
fake the
connections

I won't
have the 
discussions

my 
thoughts
outdated 

my 
words
a dead language 

rabidly 
stabbing at 
tabloid typos

am i
losing 
you?

writing
with
red ink 

on the
arms
of my t-shirt

buy 
the milk
or pay the rent

    My dear Rene ... you go right ahead and rant as much as you like. As long as the ranting produces this kind of great poetry.

    Fruity Wheels: what a wonderful visual for this piece.

    Your thoughts aren't outdated, Rene. They're nebulous.

don't tread on me

she's still not over the fact that  she is under the ground she speaks in rattly, clattery hissing  voices whenever they come around "I'll reach right up and turn your ankles you unforgivable gits,  for burying me,  prematurely,  over a spell of the coughing fits" so angry with her new residence and  bored a deeper shade of blue she's knocked over her marble marker and broken it clean in two.
