I should have made you
sign a contract
I promise this won’t mean
anything
not even if I’m sober
not even on swingsets at midnight
river walks during floodstage
I promise you I won’t read between
the out-loud
I promise you I won’t give you my best
“let’s still be friends”
like an excuse
a bone thrown to the
most undernourished of dogs
(don’t treat me like
someone who needs
the pleasant lies of
anesthesia
this is not a disguise for
pain)
this is indifference
and we can have it
too
promise

hmmm hmmmmm reading through some of my older poetry and it is VEH HEH HERRY interesting how I used to feel about certain things.
It bothers me that I don't even remember who I was talking about at certain points.
sometimes the rain is easier to trust than whatever half assed sincerity you’re trying to sell tonight. what could be less complicated than two hydrogens and an oxygen? Science is honesty. You? More unpredictable than lightning, and I never stay in the same place long enough to get struck twice. You’re out.
I can only guess who that was about.
