It took nine months
but I'm grieving
your loss
Margot Robbie;
those dirty foot
milkshakes
left at my door.
We couldn't watch
anything violent
or scary
since we were
living it;
James Earl Jones
in the emergency room.
Karaoke
on New Year's Eve;
stepping stones
to where?
You chopped off
your hair
and I'm still
finding it.
If you care to listen
I could tell you a lot
about a little:
A fed bear is a dead bear;
dire desperation
at the mercy
of technology;
stolen hotel towels
that never get quite clean;
an unfulfilled need
to be among those
with whom you can
be silent.
It's hell on earth.
What sorcery is this?
Where you toss
your pocket change
says much about
who you are.
A man whom I paid
five thousand dollars
told me to go smoke
in the shower
and I'll trade you more tidbits
if you can make sense of that.
Come on--
for a friend?
