Eliminating Weeks

the overly involved rummaging 
through deep dish 

emotional baggage that 
may or may not eliminate 

the next couple of weeks 
into a blurry haze of 

shoulda, coulda, wouldas..

the sombre thoughts of maybes that seem 

to be piling up under the leaky window, 

the disconnected telephone making long 

distances calls to your guts that are filled 

with butterflies and lightening. 
optical preservation 

of things you saw in fashion 
magazines getting distorted 

by things you've seen on the news and why 

shouldn't we be able to 
walk home alone at night..

turn the lamp on it's side for a
different perspective, 

having a conversation that
 doesn't come back to fornication..

and when was the last time you
addressed an envelope with good news..

finish off the bottle, 

i don't care what the reason is anymore.
