This may make no sense
Poetry never does
unless you have been in that room yourself
you can’t truly see
I’ve forced my eyes wide
taped open by duct brand
waiting, til dawn
til you calm down
til you change the story
Here we go kids
the announcer is drawing the audience in
motioning come closer so you can feel the drama
apparently long island iced tea
is more like a truth serum
than anyone expected
and it is announcement time
hey…you are the one
the one I do not like
the one I do not approve of
and I know I have slept with you for a thousand nights
I know I have smiled in your face
I know I have kicked it with you close
but you had to be aware at least
you had to feel this
this
this is what I feel when alcohol make endorphins flow
right through my bloodstream into my brain
into the part that has to tell you what I think
what I know
what I say to myself sober
so you should hear it
at the head of the class
never mind that we are in public
never mind security is watching
NEVER MIND THIS IS A CASINO
I cant settle for less than my own reflection
I cant settle for less than a short bitch
I cant settle for less than someone I can control
so I confess
and the whole thing is short but epic
the whole thing has been building up like lego blocks
the whole thing is genuine and fake and real and stupid
the whole thing was initiated by too many beers
and had I kept him sober, I might not have known
he hates me
he loathes me
secretly, I have been the enemy,
And here we are
This may make no sense
Poetry never does
I’ve forced my eyes wide
taped open by duct brand
motioning come closer so you can feel the drama
motioning come closer so you can feel the drama
Dont make me repeat it, get it, get me, get out.
get out
be gone
I’ve wanted to live alone, a life, and I can’t because
I invited you here and overstayed your welcome
is what you have inadvertently done
A wife you have become
And ALL I HAVE WANTED WAS SOME FUN
8 years ago
the one I do not like
the one I do not approve of
and I know I have slept with you for a thousand nights
but I didn’t mean it.
I mean this.
Go away.
But the crazy bitch is drunk too.
so she stays,
I stay,
we stay…
