A Habit

You’re void and uninvolved.

Eyelids that blind you from

Every humanistic crop circle we carve –

Tapping

Morris Codes against the walls.

You said,

You don’t want to get involved.”

And I say,

“No way.”

Because I’m a parody.

Ox. Moronically. Insignificant. And too empathetic.

And you’re just an ignorant boy

With an loaded gun.

Your front.

Your facade.

Your dimples decay–

Fade

Into crooked smiles

That hold the truth.

(Proof of)

Who You ought To Be.

Cold Trailers in the shadow

Of a mountain of trash.

And metal detectors that

Sense

Your

Loneliness.

You hide

Behind designer hats.

But

In fact,That was all I expected.

I know what you mean

At the precise moments when you have no clue

What you really meant at all.

And that struck a vein,

Hit a well.

And you can’t cope with it.

Because your Dead End streak-

Your hollow spine-

The scar on your collar bone-

Looks good from the outside,

But

To me?

You are just another boy on my couch.

(At least that’s what I tell myself).

Fleeting moments—-

It’s 5 a.m.

And you had to leave the room

Just to

Cry.
