Reefer Glass

hooded glances sink all misty-eyed

working on dying, endless motion

junkies loitering in the vacant parking lot

desperately need a hit off something

skate rats at the park near the high school

girls headed in pairs of twos to the bathroom

some older couple reading a daily paper

really nothing new in the news

reading Kurt Vonnegut just to pass the time

doing anything just to pass the time

i think i’ll die here, if that’s alright with you

i’ll fade away, a veil of Elliot Smith & drugs

Broke boy with a bad attitude… crude & rude

Dogs barking see his ripped jeans

Smoke drifting out the little smoking area

Fog clouding over in plumes above the city

Little playboy bunny with the cute little bunny ears

He’ll never figure her out, what she’s ever up to

Just want to die snugly on a rainy day

When does all of the drudged monotony end

She broke my heart… her, her & her

They all did just by simply existing

This is the poem for hookers & moon gazers

Stupid worn out converse have holes in them

she’s in a mini skirt fetching a cab in the city

the cab stops in no time

maybe the cab driver likes her in the rear view

the mirror clearly showing up her skirt

stupid perverted little cab driver

stupid whimsical & the slightest bit slutty girl

I drank at terminal 3

I vaped in the airplane restroom

I died 34 times last week

I continue to die daily

didn’t feel good to sink to any level

better all up in my head

I wonder if the old homie got locked up

one of the old homie’s doing time right now

It’s only a matter of time

Change is always right around the corner

Pocket some loose change

No sign of light

Bunker & hunker down in the rain

First loss of light

Dusk to dawn… night night night

Sweet dreams sweetheart

I want to get high, but sadly can’t

Puts my relationships in jeopardy

Numb feelings trickle trickle trickle

Down the mountain the shredded line

Lost in thought, always lost in thought

I write using stone against rock

Little carvings etched into the rock face

You’re stupid… I’m stupid… we’re all so stupid

You could just give up the whole act

The old author sitting pounding away at the old typewriter

The cat lady chasing after all of her kittens

What drab lives we all lead

Drags off the spliff in back alleys

Leaving behind just poetic fragments of who we are

Who knew she could grow to be so cute

22… in college… studying literature

I’m over here philosophically looking into the existentialist point of it all

I’d rather read Bukowski talk about horse races

She was cute in her own way when she slammed the door in my face

Guess she was mad I had texted that other girl

Oh well, oh well

Used to listen to lots of music

Still listen to lots of music

I trust his & her taste

I have some CDs & a book collection

Played some Mazzy Star today & finished the novel Junky by William Burroughs

Kind of helps to read to slow the mind down & such

Currently reading Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being

as well as the poems of Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg, Sylvia Plath, Willa Cather & Leonard Cohen

Also picked up Bradbury’s ‘Fahrenheit 451’ & a Steinbeck novel, as well as Kaur’s ‘Milk & Honey’ & ‘Norwegian Wood’ by Murakami

So I got plenty to catch up on & read this month

Music is cool too

But really all I want to hear is the keys of the typewriter

Pew pew pew

The manuscript is all up in the air

Maybe the novel will never be finished

From this tweet to that tweet, it’s all so mindless

Try to delve into some idea on a deeper level

Nothing to dive into… the boy in his winter coat jumps into flurries of powdered snow… yippee

Hooray for the optimists

Thank God for the cynical people too

Good to be realistically positive

He says she talks too much

She says he doesn’t listen enough

The cruelly beautiful cycle of life unfolds

New day brings about fresh coffee

I sip & puff at my cigarette & read one of my twenty books

An album comes on the speaker

Some Zach Bryan ditty

Cool ex-navy country music

Onto Lou Reed & Mac Demarco

Chet Baker & Tom Petty & Nico

Pavement & Nick Drake

Slow Dive & The Cure

I’m about a slow life

Grinding away the minutes

Tuning in & tuning out from everything around me

Bro what the fuck are you talking about?

Honestly bro, I forgot… but hey, wanna piece a cigarette together?

Absolutely… but stop all of the small talk… I’m over talking about such bull shit antics… the weather this, this girl that… crank back up the music, smoke with me in our lil solitude, in some semblance of peace

Yea, yea, sounds good, sounds perfectly alright bruh

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this stupid little poem
