Poem Scraps II


[Before the whole cookie crumbles]


and the days feel like they are getting shorter,

and shorter

the light is dimming,

and the shadows

grow longer,

 spreading 

until it becomes the night


Turning down noble prizes like Jean Paul Sartre 


The Christmas card

my mother gave me-

was 

blank with the exception of my name


Hey Viking Goth.. 

Jason mamowa called wait…

(is that how you spell it?)

Had I been even slightly better lookin 

I would have ended up 

listenin to Hip Hop and learning Tagalog 


I can not fly, without you,

but 

refuse to fall

by myself


[Thought I'd  expand my horizons-

I'd never dated a Persian girl before.]


You held on

and now sing this song 

about how everything went wrong.


sing about the grief 

but oh the relief 

such relief
