Let it breathe

A cheap bottle of red, salty, heightened emotion with a hint of oak that a label claims goes great with burgers.
Classy chemical induced self examination on a Saturday night.
Spelling mistakes and showers end in smiles and some kind of new awarness of life.
If only these moments of new clarity and strength to progress could be bottled.
Perhaps in a cheap red liquid with a hint of oak that the label claims goes great with burgers.

Voices

Sometimes at night
lying in the darkness
I hear voices in your breathing
though I cannot make out exactly what they say

maybe the people upstairs are whispering in the vents again.

A case of youth

I've come down with a case of youth.
It is supposed to be temporary but I'm told I may suffer flashbacks in my later years.

Broken Ghettoblaster

Another mix tape under my door.
Oh feelings.

Interpretation

If you dream you're falling it's supposed to mean you feel out of control in your life.
If you dream of drinking from a jug you'll come into money.
If you dream of tending to a constipated baby dinosaur in a diaper.........

Clarity

My eyes looked very pretty all day as I waited for my chance to see you and show them off.
Now I've cried
and you're on your way to see them irreversibly red and puffy.

Baited Anger

I waited by the phone anxiously for your call,
so I could hang up when you said "hi".

Two weeks

I'd had the problem for about two weeks
and promised myself I'd go to a doctor in the morning.
In the morning I awoke to find myself feeling fine.
I tried everything to bring back the symptoms, but nothing worked.
Now I'll never know what was wrong.
