a trickle and
i slip out
make sound
crawl
and begin to walk

learn math
bleed for a brother
kiss, undress, cum
and learn to fear death

write a sad song
drink a full bottle
believe, forget
favor a bar stool
and a girl sits down

love her, leave her
come back, fuck her
deny her, embrace her
and buy her a ring

fill a fridge up
start a garden
get fired
and get a job again

pull out a son
pull out a daughter
pull out a gun
and fail to perform

learn spanish
visit china
enjoy a cuban
and lick a prostitute

lay down on couch
slip into bed
roll over
and fuck her butt

feel dirty, tired, empty
try exercise
get a promotion
and loose her to cancer

stare at daughter's tears
inhale the horizon
lay down
remember a stranger
find god
and suffocate in sleep
