sucks waking up and checking the news bitters the taste of my orange juice i guess it's alright. i'm still alive my only plans are making grilled cheese and eating it next to my chimney it's so weird having nothing to do. stared at my phone for an hour or two wondered when i last put on my shoes and i spent the whole day talking to you the sky looks beautiful from my roof. the sun for sure will go down soon and the stars, aloof, sink into dew.

Laundry done, books are read Hardly sun-up, paper said the mayor's counting heads, my numbers up. Dogs in new shapes of light, lounging like their clothes are clean. You can't believe a word they say, I wish you were here. Moses of the river bed that kid with a stutter who said "Let my people go" while chewing unleavened bread. Sermon on the mount, he never came down, he never came down. God's will is water from a stone, but Moses is up there still and he's all alone. You can't believe a word he says, he says "Don't Go"

Home is where the phone rings and it's not for you But this'll do. Home is where I'll tame the lawn. Moving is hard as balls. You gotta move, like, every thing, all things, From Point A to B. This time I didn't mind. Ten months to the day over; I miss sleeping on that couch. Half-remembered chess games and Sharing life in the cemetery. Last laughs up for grabs: I still don't have a bed. But this was good. É bom I pretend not to want to talk To a very friendly dog Called to follow. I crack a secret smile. There is a living room with two couches, a coffee table, and a Fender Rhodes. On the table a game of Go is in play between me and Alex. The ghost of the house says not to take anything too personally, Including messages on the fridge.
