[bodytext] => I woke up in a puddle this evening
I thought I ***** myself again
but I only fell asleep with another lit cigarette
and my water-filled ashtray spilled over perfectly enough
to extinguish
the possibility of flames
and without disturbing my sleep at all
don't worry no ego's were harmed in the writing of this
now that i'm awake
I guess i'll finish my cigerette
I just got out of the shower
before my pen touched this paper
now i'm wearing black slacks
black socks
and have yet to decide on a shirt
feeling kinda blue I guess
across the floor of my almost empty apartment
(the one i've never actually moved in to)
I see a few blue dress shirts balled up against the wall
I should just walk over with my eyes closed
and grab ahold of one
***** That!
I've decided to blindly crawl instead
be right back..
Well, it took me seven steps
(if I can call them that)
to get across my small efficiency, norm deficiency
and somehow I managed to scrape my knee
against something sharp along the way
Oh well! it's only bleeding a little
and not through
Now i'm wearing a blue-collared shrit
it's wrinkled
but I don't care enough to change
I think
it probably earned it's wrinkles anyway
enough about that though
It's funny how I said earlier
"I'm feeling kinda blue"
because it's taken me until now
to notice
that's the color of ink
bleeding from the pen i'm using
yeah, i'm only using her
I know i've made the mistake
of calling her
mine
once or twice
but that doesn't matter either, really
because by the time you see this
if you do
it wont look
or feel
anything
like it does to me
right now
So i guess I probably should just stop writing
'cause now i'm all dressed up with someplace to go
but still no one beside me.
