24 Budweiser cans
to drink over the weekend
while I watch Chopped in my basement.
A text to Emma says
“Hey, how are you doing,
and remember we were friends?”
And in a couple days,
I think I’ll be just fine to get back out there in the fray.
And if we’re all alone,
then there’s no need to change or find something clever to say.
Doesn’t mean much anyway.
Need Lamaze class but for men.
My version of birth is seeing old acquaintances.
“What are you doing man?”
“I don’t really know, can we start this over again?”
But it’s mostly in your head.
Walking down the street I mutter,“Life is not so bad”.
See movies on my own,
eat some lunch with Mike and play 2K with Land at home.
And in a couple days,
I think I’ll be just fine to get back out there in the fray.
And if we’re not alone,
then there’s no need to change or hide your feelings as they lay.
Doesn’t matter anyway.

Fly into pieces at the first sign of distress.
Call in the guard to fight off your unrest.
“Get out of bed, son, and clean up this fucking mess.”
You’re inessential-
central to the void.
You are a blunt tool,
ready to destroy.
You told a story,
It was so boring.
And in the morning,
you’ll hate the words you make.
Fill in the gaps to see the lapse inside your functioning.
Stupid enough to pretend that more shame is luxury.
Fill in the lapse to see the gaps between your two bodies.
Face to the mat, foot in your back.
Reeling around until you find something to prove.
Wait for a place that someone else will choose.
Without the structure, you don’t know what to do.
Crying in baseball,
crying in the car.
You’re driving away,
but you’re not getting far.
At a gas station,
you lost your patience.
Your chips are scattered
across the pavement.
Bored to run across the alleyways;
a chore to navigate.
You think you know your fate.
To hear is what you say.
Everyone knows exactly what to do.
