right
buy yourself a
hot pretzel

one day
will go
to Harvard
but
right now learning
the capital of
Texas
is not even Dallas
or
houston

looked up to
you because
you were nice

surfacing
it always does

whenever you say
anything
which
by the way is not
very often
do not worry
I
will not believe you

barely old enough
to
own a gun

to old to
understand

barely old enough
to
get an erection

to old to
waste time

you would think so
anyway

barely
old enough

at the store
where
they sell
beer and cookies

pot buy the pre rolled

where
they sell boxes
just
add water and dream

I want to be
a pharmaceutical sales representative
me too

want
to go to school and
read
about tomorrow

at the store
they rent nightmares
daily

there is a line sometimes
crossing
2 major streets

for now
my heart is beating

we
were in a car once
did not know
where I was

stop
I want to get a burrito
smoke
a carton of cigarettes too

you would
laugh
Who is
the crazy nut
in back

didn’t know
where I was
and
did not care

always dreaming

so I left

where it was not
that is where
you end up
there

lost
inside this moment
that
never existed

Don’t
make me go
would rather
stay
here be
more than time
be ever
lasting

she said all
that
while
taking a picture

she won a bet
hit a jackpot and
happily
walked away

you are
breathing
heavy
tired and
needing
sleep
worn out
about to be
relaced

technology is your friend
not mine
doesn’t laugh can’t cry
pretends elation

wrap it up
loneliness mailed
arrived on time

invest in your dreaming
be prepared
girl scouts whisper
havens

didn’t reach retirement
so what happens
reached for tenderness
love
settled in blood
runs thru your veins
