the first snow of the year
doing all the things
i used to do with
people.
cold showers.
daytime television.
taking time release
morphine in bed.
i can’t remember
who i was on the
phone with
-
i saw my friends at a party
i should go out now
i saw my friends at a show
i should go out now
i wish i could sing i wish i could write
i wish i could stay up all night
like i did when i was on speed like i did when i was sixteen
but I'm not gonna write a song about you
i'm not gonna write a song about you

springtime 2008
go to work every day
and every night when i got off
we'd smoke weed in your backyard
i picked her up in my car
she was crying in my arms
and it rained all day it wouldn't stop
i bought her a donut we went into the woods

you were in the yard
throwing rocks at my head
and when you find out all my secrets
ill be long gone
you'll be hanging around a lake
or smoking crack in your basement
i know dirt it makes
makes me grow strong
that's why i eat a handful of it
before every song
i know the pills they make
make me grow strong
that's why i eat a handful of them
before every song
you'll be hanging around with your friends
and we'll never have to go to school again
thanks to eric for playing drums <3

i can feel it when i’m talking to you
the worms like factory workers
underground
the planes full of people
passing over like birds
friends kissing each other
getting into cars and leaving
coming back
always
even if i were dead
my body a factory
for worms to work in
i am practicing
to become a payphone
outdated and full of
quarters.
time infinite and nothing
all at once and i know of
nothing more beautiful
but for now
your heart is a 6-year old’s
birthday party
your mouth is a bed of flowers
covered in snow.

they are coming now
riding bikes behind my car
and no matter how fast i go
i can't leave them behind
a spider pulled from your hair
a feeling that was never there
i stayed up last night
in fact i never slept at all
and on the drive home
i saw a glowing ball of light
rising high above my car
i felt it brush against my cheek
and every summer day
i lost you a little more
taking off my clothes
i am all alone

tattoo it on your lip
write it on your blog
talk it over with your friends
sing it in your songs
wear it on a shirt
put it on your car
cars can drive fast
cars can go far
you could never be in love with a guy like me
even though i have great taste in books
i could buy you dinner sometimes i have money
i'm funny but i don't have a heart

i stayed up for days like i am wont to do
i see you moving in the walls
and when i close my eyes, as i often do
i see you moving in the dark
beside me

i watched your hands in a dark and crowded room
i watched them speak to you
does the taste in my mouth remind you of violence
we all taste what we feel
i packed up all i owned and set off for the sea
i carried along a journal of everything you said to me
'this was just a dream'
inspired by jamie’s tweet (@jayflour)
‘I feel like 1 of those ill people from 19th century literature who need to go to the sea to heal’
