little thingies
the bar is dead tonight
saturday
day after payday
children of the dollar
content with their new toys
commercialism sucks
 
love
what immense work
she burned me
you can ask her why
i do not want to
at all
 
she has
dry pagelike skin
and a bomb
 
was driving one day
saw a bumpersticker
"Is this heaven?  IOWA"
so i said,
"No, this is purgatory
punishment for my sins."
and i drove home
running through the streets
with a bottle of wine in one hand
and a cigarette in the other
pretending someone understands
veins in my head
pulsing uselessly
more pain than energy
i hate being sick
