Poem, Better Boots


I gotta pee.
then the italian deli on the corner.
of fuck off and forever.

then sparrows and snow.
then goddamn good-for-nothing Brooklyn.
wish I had better boots.

and a better heart.

electricity is one thing.
love is another.

let's start tomorrow.
with tonight.

endlessness didn't last.
locked in my stupid fucking hell.
I remember my hand on your neck.
you on top of me.
I won't change.
given the chance.

let's start today.
with last night.

please don't let.
what was.
get in the way of what's next.
