Ask me what it’s like to have myself so figured out*

As the song goes,

                       I wish I knew.

as well as I wish you knew

that being alone has been

both grim and yet so fucking

prophetic for me

 Have you been able to leash the hounds in your head yet?

Lately,

I find peace

underneath the route 78 overpass

laid out in a patch of dusty road grass

sipping whiskey from a soup thermos

not a flask

blasting Beeswax from Nirvana

with my pen and my notebook

I sware

I can still conjure up the past

and if anyone knows that for a fact

It’s you.

*song references for you.
