you once
quite brazenly
told me
you was my muse
that's probably
why
I had writers block
the entire year

a toxic man
shouting
that he's a feminist
is the equivalent
of a man
critiquing
a man
for not washing his
hands after a piss
but not washing
himself

i can't quit you
like cigarettes
or the booze
or self-pity
i won't stop
we are an obsession
there is something worse
than unrequited love
it's mutual love
with the one who destroys you
i was someone else
before i met you
before i gave up
on everybody else
even myself

up early
for another shoot
I barely
remember
me making
love
to the woman
I love
last night
the train runs
through
the fields
that surrounds
my home
I finish
my second beer
at 9am
and watch
birds in the sky
I wonder if
they know
how lucky I am
we're both
so
free

we laugh when we drink
we lay when we're drunk
we fuck til we're sober
and we listen to the sounds
of the street below
bellowing clouds of
smoke through thin
curtains

I need to go
to the dentist
but
I'm putting
it off
I'm not scared
I like the dentist
used to want
to be one
when I was little
I just don't want to
fill in
the form
I have no idea how many units
I drink a week

they lowered him
down six feet
into the ground
if he stood in there
rather than laying
in a box
he'd be able to
just peek
over the top
and see
his mother and father
his brother
his friends
people that
barely knew him
and me
right at the back
looking over
the Medway river

I only shave when something
substantial happens in my life.
tomorrow is the funeral of
a friend
who killed himself.
I'm not shaving tomorrow.
maybe I'll do it
the next funeral
two weeks from now.

my grandmother lays there
colourless
her hair faint
#mycelium skin stretched over
untarnished wicker bones
how did this body
once hold me?
hold my father?
when now it can barely
hold
itself
together

how does the white male patriarchy take
souvenirs
on their phones
behind garbage cans
torn thongs that say
she wanted it
two frat brothers
holding her down
in case the roofie
or the hunch punch
doesn't work
one rips off her
heirloom neckace
thinking it'll make a
nice christmas gift
for mom~

some of
the #citizens
of my city
have lost
their minds.
they search
for them
in the
river
in the
gutter
in dropped
empty cans.
don't let
them get
too close.
they'll steal
your house
your heart
your life.
skirt around them
better friends can be found.

There are no stars anymore. The #tardigrades got rid of them when they took over. They didn't like trees either. The moon? Gone. They kept mist though. They like to float around, looking cute. Waiting for something bigger and less intelligent to come their way.
