I turn the light off at
12:17.

The air of the room
is still and hot.
Through the open window,
I hear the soundtrack
of a city--

ambulance wails.
man shouts.
subwoofer cracks windows.
plastic bags tumble.

It won't let me sleep,
so I get up and walk to the mirror
like a zombie.
I look at myself and say,
go to sleep
you mediocre fuckup.

  1. do you ever hear the sound of the taco bell on central and girard?
    I would close my eyes and chalupas would glimmer over helicopters flying over.

    You're not a mediocre fuckup, but you might be angstbucket college kid.

  2. I would say a bit of both. I keep my assets diversified.
