poem 28 – 2-27-15
WHAT ARE YOU SORRY ABOUT?
i walk cuz i don’t have a car
i don’t have a car cuz i can’t afford one
i can’t afford one cuz i don’t try to
i don’t try to cuz i’m lazy
i’m lazy cuz i care enough that you care, but not enough to do anything about it
i’m depressed and so are you
you’re just better at life than me
aren’t you?
(i’ll either read that last line twice
or
have a few moments of silence
cuz silence is golden
isn’t it?
silence is dissonance
and dissonance is so desperate to live)
the universe aka GOD is not what you or i believe it to be
us fighting over it is pretty funny
i don’t know why we aren’t laughing
it’s laughable
it really is
i question if others are better at life than me
enough to fool myself with my own rhetoric
i once wrote a lyric “sophistry killed me”
isn’t that something?
(it was a shitty song-i was never a musician)
i bet that happens a lot… death by lies.
death caused by a lie or whatever
i wonder if anyone died cuz a lie i have told
who knows?
maybe
truth be told
a joke
a trick
a waste of time
an infinite jest
a man boy
a sign of disrespect
a complicated yet simple truth
a dramatic dogmatic sky wept
a drunken man slept
a sober asshole wrote a fucking shit novel and everyone loved it
a guy that knew a guy
a drug dealer that cared about you and wanted you as a friend but instead you gave them money and left
a dismal endnote
a sentence that ran long distance
a person dying lying
a lazy liar lied with with his last breath
he said nothing profound at his end
a stripper naked knew herself better than you fully clothed and covered in regret you lugged around your suitcase of disappointment
the optimal was ignored over and over
you owe something to something
end it with no resolution
end it with a question again
end it with
what if?
