poem of the day 03.29.13


poem to the poet who deleted me
as a facebook friend

well
as if the streets
weren’t enough of a terror
this game
life
sad sack
and defeated upon birth

a swirling shit river
where every move made
seems like some kind of cheat
or deception

still
there are those moments of hope
in between the slop

the taste of a strawberry candy
sex on a sunday afternoon
a kind phone call coming when you’re on
the brink of madness

oh
and the safe and blessed knowledge
that i’ll never
have to read
your terrible poem turds
again

unless i really want to
fuck myself
up
or
bring myself
down.
