my eyes sting and
my eyes cant stay open
and i went out because i had to
and I want to quit all my vices
but they keep me holding on
like a holiday inn

i'm quitting before i start
i'm paying too much for transport
i'm giving up my main moral
which was wearing black.

i'm wearing waffle weaves now
and a sweatshirt that my mom gave me
i missed your concert
i didn't even go to the venue called blackout
i didn't stay sober even, though.

i won a game of pool tonight & i'm proud
and I missed dr suess because I can't get it
all together
it seems

a little shot
in the throat
and in my heart
and in my politics
and in my etiquette


a little waffle iron

a little baked shoulder

a little pimple

my whole face is blown off
and flapping in the wind

my underwear fell off
and my nose needs picked

i'm a wreck
and i'm full, full

love is not the same as laughter
you always are standing outside the music

let me tell you a little about myself.
I have no self control
and I drink grapefruit juice.

Monday

the first monday

I looked him straight in his face
and thought I could definitely
learn his language.

the next monday

He looked her straight in the face
and asked her
what she thought of him.

Saturday

I'm kind of like a duck
but I'm made of glass
I'm a water pitcher

When you tip me over
and pour me out
a big drop of water
falls in my hand

It's daytime
and cloudy
but I swear it's a full moon
right now.
