self-fulfilling, but
it was already coming
true before I spoke.

though others may think
it the american dream
is not gluttony

You're lucky because
the devil hates a loser,
and you had it all.

don't know about you,
but i liked myself better

white twisters clutter
my insides, raging loudly.
and then? not a thing.

Things we have in common

film, work, cars, drive, and
not knowing what you're asking.

admit it!!!!! ADMIT

my baggage, call cab.

what kind of party
is this? no booze and only
one hooker. -bender

but only so the goodbye

you shouldn't haiku
when you really have to poo.
constipation? shit.

the tree falls to earth.
wiping his axe and his brow...
he sets off for more.

than the internet.

Staring contests with
babies and pen protection.
Story of my life.
