mass milk most and liquid toast, next stop Shangri La

pictures and apologies,
dinner and hallways...

I am eighteen again,
within a lonesome youngster's
decisions.

they be death,
by a drawn-and-quartered past.

the reader knows this,
I do not.
Yet.

let's dance in black-and-white pictures
and see what happens.

the future looks brighter than it did a week ago.

(If I could save the world,

I would die

for your golden eyes.)


next stop shangri la.
