Deserving of the Day

black as Kendra Jean's heart.
as dumb as my stupid brain. 
we can take a shit in South Florida. 
and then jump a train to NYC. 

just a man with hangnails and hangovers. 
just a poet trying to be funny. 
just a worthless weirdo. 
divided time and tessellating.

this hotel is cheap.
and there is not a single thing. 
that can take Montreal away from me.
even a long February. 

welcome to my writing. 
it's not like lightning.
but it is a miracle which is alright. 
and now I will watch basketball and move on.

happily, hopefully. 
everything is felt and forgiven. 
newness and air is coming. 
and I am not sorry that this is beauty forgotten.
