Blue Pen

Remind me.
To tell you.
A funny story.

Thursday.
After Hockey.

my chest hurts.
listening to Devendra.
and texting Justin.
and calling Franco.

in this day
and age.

I like addressing
the problems
that we all have
in the front yard.

the Levee is still a thing.
a place.
in Brooklyn.
and our friends.
still bartend there.

I lay smiling.
but one of us is dying.
well, thats your next song in C with harmonica.
everything.
happens.

blue pens.
noses.
belated birthday presents.

let's get stupid.
where's that smile?
this world that I have trusted.
