POEM FOR THE MAN I JUST SPOKE TO ON THE PHONE


i hope my jokes
smiling
make your day
go by
go by
go by
until she wakes up
rock spin backwards
whole lives ahead
i dunno what coma is
i dunno how to sleep
i am sorry
that debt is something
i am sorry
a life costs so much
w/ no promise
for how long it will last
forever i guess
or a worthless cliff to abyss
feel yr gut flutter
dropped quarter off
the Empire State Building
as nothing is always
or where Buffalo is
you wonder
if that speck
of what an anxiety attack looks like
what are these chemicals
my blood rise
the moon and when i was there
tide pulls so hard at me
am i sensitive
am i going to cry
i get scared around people
but lifes the only chance
to not be alone
for the duration
