take it
press it up against your unmarked skin
do it
you know you want to
you want that rush
you want to escape
take it
press it deeper against those perfect veins
do it
you know you want to
you want to see that crimson
you want to know if you're alive
take it
press it hard against the tissue
do it
you know you want to
you want to see the first flecks of red
you want to let go,'til you're not quite dead
take it
press it even deeper this time
do it
you know you want to
you want to watch it flow into your hand, onto the floor
you want to let it all go
drip
drip
drip
into the
sink
sink
sink
the water's turning pink
matching your tear-stained cheek
you just want it all to end.
no one knows
not even your closest friend
she did it too
a couple times
but she's happy now
and you dont know
if you should stay or go
you stare hard at your handiwork
feeling proud that you accomplished something
you feel refreshed, renewed.
you open the medicine cabinet
and find the gauze
you dont want to share this masterpiece
wrap
wrap
wrap
around your
wrist
wrist wrist
it's time to start anew
a new cycle of apathy and feeling blue
no one knows what's going on
you're afraid to tel
cracked pavement
orange leaves against
a cyan sky
decrepit canvas shoes
peak out of the bottom
of dime-store jeans
he looks up, through
chestnut hair all mussed
with shining emerald eyes
up at the bright november sky
he lingers there, taking it all in
a north wind cuts through him
he moves on
kicks a pebble
down the sidewalk
looking at the world
with lonely eyes
he wonders where he'll sleep tonight
it's getting so cold
at twenty-three
he already feels so old
he's lived most of his young life this way
wandering aimlessly
a modern day nomad
just a boy and his guitar
a backpack holds his few belongings
but he is happy
this poem is not titled
it is a collaboration of the masses
he dreams of random cats
has a strange fixation on sandwiches
or
interpreting poems as if they were about a sandwich
this is peculiar
i type this as he reads to the left of my shoulder
people are talking in the background
his dream involved freezing small animals
steel ponies riding the wings of dragon-beavers
and putting them in tiny coolers
and then bigger ones
like those nesting dolls
the small animals did not include gophers or squirrels.
i helped in this poem...the subject speaking
he typed.holes.....
a word completely random, but deep.
this is not a poem
this
the scent of
saliva covered lollipops
and sun-heated
man-made leather fills the air
underclassmen brag about
toking up
and
getting wasted
atreyu blares through my headphones
but the highest volume
cannot drown the noise
coming from the mouth
of that dirty freshman
(with the terrible acne
and
horrid taste in music)
he's homophobic
and filled with uneducated opinions
i need car insurance
lacking it is the only thing
keeping me on this
yellow thing fueled by fossils
affectionately called a cheesewagon
