ME IN THE ASCETIC LIFE
(hard being a steamrolling machine on the dating scene)

you know what they all say

screech of the skeleton tree -
hard being a steamrolling machine on the dating scene

in the clouds a butterfly face
two stars smiled and winked at me
my levels of pattern recognition are intense like this

you could show me a blank piece of paper
and if i stared at it long enough id see a distance
or a face, or a spider, or a person reaching for me
but stealing their hand away as i grasp back

honestly stop looking over our shambling destruction
you're kind of stomping down a flat thing
and i dont even know what comes after dust

and though your parade will not pass my way.
and now i know how rotted my heart is.
i can better do nothing about it.
