Day Trip

It's not a crime
still feels like a crime
there's nothing that I can do.
Broken and entered,
so fucking self-centered,
you need a new attitude.
You're one and done
you weren't the one
and I wasn't the one for you.

it's a long walk
on the champs elysees
the sky is gold
but it's getting gray.
a glass of red
in your favorite cafe,
a perfect ending
to a perfect day.

If it's my fate
to be your friend
if the big bang is the beginning
and you and I are the end.
I will abide
and do God's work.
I will play the role of the hopeful Joe.
I will play the role of the jerk.

What are you writing?

Chased your losses but your losses grew.
Hate your boss but your boss is you.
Played it dumb when you kind of knew.

3/14/15

the sun will set
but that's whatever
the moon may rise
and light the heavens
the sea can swell
and flood the town
the sleeping damned
will surely drown
but you in grace
have been passed over
you're half alive
and halfway sober.
