paint-splattered shirt

Paul Auster's dead,
the Magic force game 7, 
I am caffeinated 
and celebrated. 

The Avett Brothers come on 
at the dentist,
and I time travel
to Brooklyn, 2009. 

What's the statute
of limitations on love?
It's like putting a poncho on
over a backpack. 

In a Ramones t-shirt,
and weekly jeans
a jellyfish snapback,
drunk on daydreams.

Always order pancakes
for the table,
and try to start the day
without excuses.
