hearse

i liked you better when you pissed sitting down

you liked me more when i was shy and boring

in the next room i can hear her snoring

while they tear down the building and erect

another in it’s place that looks like your face except

it lacks that look of shame and disgrace 

when the only advice they gave was to pray

i knew it had gone from bad to worse 

i remember when you were my soccer mom

carrying cigarettes for me in your purse

i hope in the end that i will be driving my own hearse

and that my casket is made of biodegradable plastic

moon

concrete spoon

the sun at full bloom

an ambulance siren booming through the room

where she sleeps next to me snoring

as he lays awake trying to cry but not remembering 

how

so he makes little mouse sounds and squints his eyes

are not quite blue, not quite green but definitely not brown

i liked him better when he pissed sitting down
