Another normal day where wetally up the numbers of what we gave away,but I can’t stay and watch.The past won’t stay out of my dreamslike it is ink bleeding through the page,and all the words there are disfiguredlike the bodies being burned in crematoriumswho never list their addresses.She takes the curtains down so everyonecan see […]

Tokens

Late arrivals like a dark cloakflapping madly in the windoutside and no one pulls the blinds.An untrained guitar playertries to figure out the chordswhile every shore is gettingeaten by the waves that breakagainst the edge of where the landonce took its stand against the water.Sting rays are the only thingthat’s biting and the fishermanwho catch […]

So many channels full of commercialslaced with every minor detail that ensuresyou will feel […]
