some writings.

slump back in the chair

even blanks'll leave a mark

sight is crooked

(an) empty head + dead heart

make lousy targets

first thing i did today,

when i woke up.

was to lie to you, dear

and tell you i'm OK.

you set the plague on me

began the crumbling

undoing

that it'd taken me decades to.

consume the lie that i am.

a pitiable creature

seen falsely as an enviable man

destroying + discarding

the things they desire

spitefully watching them starve

broken bicycles

rusted shopping carts

dead fishes +

drunkards

on the bank

asphyxed eyes

bacterial green

waters

ruptured veins of our lives.

always the coward's way.

i've never known my role

but it'll leave a scar when i go.
