{portable post office}

Pray tell
A different shade of me
Book worm
Flatulence
A warm cup of joe in the morn'
...
Take hands 
Take a breath 
Take yourself & just
GO!!
...
Shoulda looked both ways before talking
Never know which way to sleep
Suicide bores but still comes knocking
Shoulda known. Shoulda been me.

She gabbed...

There's a man walking into a rite aid carrying
a new, still-in-the-box Red Ryder BB gun
over his shoulder
Had this not been such a shady part of town would that have seemed so odd?

{fuck sleep}

I wake with a start; Gasping for breath...
Eyes scan the room, taking it all in. 
It isn't real; it was just a dream...
A nightmare. 
Heart beat pounds in my inner ear. Sweat rolls off my brow. I cannot catch my breath. I roll to my side & clutch the pillow under my head. 
A dream...
A nightmare. Just...
Eyes now dry desert head lamps, full bore. Burning & red. Staring straight forward. 
I'm not going back. Not to That...  
I turn on the light. Make a coffee. Stare a my newest cardboard canvas, just a few lines mark it. 
A dream...
Not a nightmare. Just a dream...
