an email, everything, something, nothing, saved

into the river.
I threw my phone. 
a relic of the railroad.
only to be found.
a tale only to be told. 

of the couch.
I lay.
the same goddamn place.
and now I just bleed.
what's good for me.

mortal and stupid.
more than a pretty face. 
I can't kick the tradition
that is love's sweet letdowns. 

the same thing.
a funny Spring.
I am in the only night. 
just when love is right.
I am writing poems.
that mean nothing.
but nonsense. 

very silly.
it's lonesome out here on the road. 
my fingers figure to disappoint. 
no matter if you are interested.
or not.
