Biographical Sketch of a Trainwreck
Go ahead,
wrap those thousand text messages
around your eyes a little tighter
and maybe you'll stop seeing what you lack;
Go ahead,
whitewash your walls
with the labels off vodka bottles
and call it a step in the right direction;
And quite an effort it was, too;
A grainy photocopy
of a man seven inches shorter
but twice your stature;
Called "love" by dint of the holes you filled;
And like communism and certain positions in the kama sutra,
are an idea
best left on paper.
