we snuck into your house you threw up on the floor well i can't do these kinds of things with you anymore if i could travel back in time and tell myself things the first thing i'd tell myself would be don't worry you'll have plenty of time left unless you think you won't my eyes are so wide like you know for my eyes i can't stop scratching my back although i'm on vacation with my best friend i feel like I'm all by myself which is perfectly okay there's a wall on which it's written that you were here and i love the mystique of those sorts of things don't you love that kind of thing

laughing in my bedroom with the lights all off you can kiss my polyester when the night runs off but we cant pray to each other when our gods run off because neither of us have that kind of authority a cat lady drugged rushes down the stairs old and crying she says listen to me mister because my son is dying please just give him everything he needs and let him stay up late
the cell phone generation needs this
we're going to war

when you left my house afterwards i touched myself until the rain started to pour again
but you never came back to my house
because you grew away from it all
and like you placed some pretty intense weight on me there
sometimes i wonder if it's with me to this day when i look at the floor in my room and i will say this: the view from my sheets is immaculate
i wonder if you eat now and what kind of drugs you are doing
and how you are doing

well it's easy to be a pylon like me, on a street draped in blankets, exempt from your breeze
yes, a comfort to stare and just wish i could weep, to stand still in the rain when i should be asleep
i feel pleasure so vague when people slide and splash, an orgasm so faint that it would make you laugh in a weekend lent shack where you’d smoke and i’d crash and burn the last perfectly good photograph
so i’ve been singing to shelter the cold from my veins and to combat my probably made up migraines
i don’t know if i’m good, i should hope i don’t know what to say
still i see the hands of a kid who sleeps inside my head, he’s demanding in song that i get out of bed and i get up at 2:00, make myself food, then wish i was dead
so easy
