the problem may be:
I live in the sincerity
of every smiled promise
...

it's like the itch
you refuse to scratch

because it'll only
...

...

by giving me
such backwards advice
it's easy to see
...

clouds reaching so low
they cover the floor
allow the tops
to peer over
...

though it's a different season
since then, i can recall
with precision
my drive over the width of Texas
...

dreamt in déjà vu
self-proclaimed prophecies play

i live on and on
...

a cement block
selling food
across an angel's
flight path
...

you reject routine
as though it were meant
to be feared
...

less than the moon
pulling tides and
hiding to be sought by stars
...

all eyes on history
i've proven to be human
with fits of survival
...

I wanted to submerge
into you, but only got
cold feet
...

He says "Thank you"
but I didn't do it for him;
I did it for me.
...

I read that a species of shrimp is the loudest animal,
that they can create a sonic boom
so loud you can't even hear it
but it can still stun you to death
...

fragile, be careful
don’t let
the wind blow
me down
...

I cannot sleep at night
Because when i do
Romantically dark images
Slip into my dreams
...

I’ll be the chatter
Of your teeth
When it’s cold out
...

Don’t forget to look at everything with wide open eyes
because you don’t want to miss a thing.

You can’t be happy and you can’t love properly until
...

i don’t think
that i am
capable of love.
...

I have friends

but my friends are funny fair weather creatures
that only call when they have stories to tell
...
