the kids keep driving faster
the cops keep getting younger
swear they're in league with one another
trying to drive me out of town
jokes on them: I've got nowhere to be.
Crumbs jump ship into my tea
went and got my haircut on a thursday
uppers and downers, backwards and forwards
used like apparel of past employers
you smell like vanilla
I'm eating the garnish
in a profession so selfless how could you be so selfish?
I'm all cashed out
& no one knows where I am.

Found a pornstar who looks like you
Won't tell me she loves me but she'll tell me what to do
Strike one, strike two, now I'm just hanging by that drunken thread
I know who I want to see tonight
Setting myself up to be let down again
Traded food for alcohol and helping all my friends
Need a clean shave and a raise
While your across town getting off on the ratio of blues to grays
I worked harder than the money that I made
But I'd throw it either way if it would've made you stay
and say something
would you just say something?
God damn just say something
I'm colorblind to all the red flags throwing up in the sink
Could've sworn they were a shade of green or Lake Huron blue
I swear I'm not listening to you.

It's process versus procedure of a coffin courtesy
Nine hour drives to the sea
My skin burns, you sure made a dollar off of me
Cause I don't know where I want to be
Playing the game of 'give up or get lucky'
Chain reaction of a car crash coming over me
Not a beggar but a chooser and a honeybee
I know nothing.
Fell asleep in my clothes so I'm already dressed up
for the pill cutter.

The Queens Of Cuba

So long to the year of perfect vision
Calling us the Queens of Cuba
Deciduous decisions
and the way I'm going down
Dichotomy and delusions
Just chasing my own shadow and my tail.

When the moon hangs low
on coniferous needles,
there's nothing left but the crude human
accentuate the other senses
references to my odyssey
if i lose my memory
send me out to pasture for I never worry
anymore
Impeccable typographical, pixelated stationary
so far removed from the contours of your body
because I try my best to ignore
what I wish I had
the leaves are changing
its always eulogy season to me
Showed up to your wedding
a voyeur to the coupling
I was
Maybe it’s the pills
Maybe its my wood chip pile of a brain

Operator operator operator
I cannot discern the conversations from one another
The mouths are moving, focused & engaged
But I recede into the booth, the bench, the high top chair.
I provide them with a scintillaview
I tell them in an indirect way I'm leaving
The select few who care the most will hear it
The others will comment at a later time,
"Where did they go?"
Like when they ask themselves,
"Is my drink empty? Where'd he go?"
"What's he upto?"
And I will leave them with a scintillaview
A scintilla of you
A scintillaview
