U REFUSE TO MAKE MORE
nothing compares
2 slipping on ice
a brand cannot capture me
even after it does
no website yet
a tree in winter
will not talk to me
i admire the way a tree breaks up a sidewalk
*
unfacilitated wretch
lobotomized moment
an experience
of nonprofit time
live past it
brown winter grass pokes
outta the snow
(on a golf course) we
collaborate to yield a scene
that is just (winter)
that’s alright
*
trenchant weirdo ascends
apt building
where ppl plot their greatness
i’(m) look
ing @
a gutter
longingly
from my weird funded
vantage point
from a vantage point of
fruit
the birds have no say
so it’s refreshing
2 see them in stop n shop
shitting on the cereal
some of this means something
some of it doesn’t
*
city offers me
the smell of the subway
cigarettes
a # of buildings
an uncertainty lurks
when u have a job but do
not work
