Month: August 2012

Molten hot coffee
a fourteen hour shift.

Having money in your pocket
spending it mostly on drinks.

Freshly brushed teeth
cigarette butts.

Rollerblading
on shitty streets.

All your crude and educated humor
Realizing just your friends get it.

Chewing gum
gnawing both lips raw.

Family by choice
not bound by roots of a half-dead tree.

Saturday night
Sunday evening.

Love letters
death threats.

Daughters
born to cheating men.

Knots
kite tails; stability for proper flight.
