New Toothbrush

dear dirty clothes
and deodorant,
I know love
as a fading thing,
always have.

thanks to the aforementioned
garage liquor and sour emails
for reminding me north.

by October 29th,
I will have forgotten,
yet fine for the train in the rain.

I will buy a new TV remote
just to smash it when drunk.

something is to be said
for not giving up,
some hunter said that
over a stock.

I am lost among porcelain.

for the rest of the rare year,
where only the gentle are strong.

pop.
