Hungrier
The trees are turning by and by; we can no longer claim
Innocent-by-stander-ship.
We are participants in this aging process,
So stop bleaching your face, please.
Let it flush and flake out your window.
Tomorrow comes;
Holding hands becomes pretentious.
We are the next generation,
Hurling our arms out of car windows,
Unfurling virgin wings as we pass everything on the interstate.

You've got me eating my cheeks
[Inside out]
Filling cavities with blood because
I'm afraid I've forgotten how it feels to swallow.

Just so when I curl to sleep in the backseat,

four thousand and one
i've smoked about four thousand
cigarettes this year and i still see nothing
but ash and empty packs. i had a lot to learn.
i didn't learn any of it.
all was funeral gray and washing dishes till
my fingers felt like land mines. we were
not finished being dumb when you died
and i found out that night under the speckled
window lights still on how those lights could
look like stars if we looked at them in just the right
way--
and i didn't believe you were really
dead, not then because i couldn't shake
those two in the morning smokes
all summer while you drank
your beer and i my diet coke and
talked about nothing in particular
