‘My Milkshake:’
Don’t be so cute while I’m driving it’s unsafe You said I looked like a pauper at the party I parked the car I walked inside I took a shower I was surprised by the tenderness of my own asshole I’m tired of you making us late with last minute jewelry decisions This week was so fun I hardly used the internet All the people were peeing moments after 2012 began I’m choosing to ignore you out of concern not meanness Moss in the alleyway I find the cracks to get creative All you need is a bag of white tees and a new deck you’re brand new for weeks Give me a your hand and stop lionizing the neighbors This is just the right amount of hard work and play I built a cloud in the tropics I hope it’s there when I get back Good people make really bad decisions I want to sleep in until there’s only enough daylight to make me shimmer Violent like the last day of Christmas break When I was 16 I spat on my own mother and threw a rock through my bedroom window I don’t think I’ll be a hundred percent in this life Nowadays it’s hard to lose your music I don’t think poetry is making me a better person I remember my first visual metaphor I stuck a feather in the sand and a seashell below it closer to the lapping bay The seashell was God The feather was me The water was all the love in the whole wide world
