Fort Lonesome

I feel bad for this town,
for having to deal with me
and my bullshit,
but we all move
at our own speed limit
according to my life
and terrible driving. 

It's raining outside,
and I should be inspired,
but laziness and lethargy
are both powerful forces
to battle with a bad back
and a penchant for poetry.

The tv is too loud,
the music is too soft,
and the neighbors
are ghosts, I think,
because I swear
no one sees them
but me.
