all these pipe dreams
these ghetto scenes
i put on september by ryan adams
it reminds me of how bad i am
at getting my thoughts accorded on paper
ryan does do self-conscious selfdegradation
and the temperature outside rising
with the morning sun peeking
out
remember when we used to do hide-and-go-seek?
just joking, we never did that
a busted flat in baton rouge
and the grateful dead do a good version of me and bobby mcgee
janis, janis, janis
september, as if i had something to say
most of the time i am quiet anyways
taking a drag, and talking to yourself
never wined and dined you
and that I, could, be proud of
but right now i am in a mood to self degrade myself
started last night
coming down off the mania into self-agonizing depression?
no, beat mania, did the big project you aren't supposed to do
good men, a few
we are through, are we through, were we through
bullet in the head
quite romantic on the kitchen floor
and some in the crowd called for more
what if i cross-examined you, and said what are three most common shooting suicides
heart
mouth
brain
brain most popular

seems like something should happen, but it doesn't
can I help you feel better, can I help in any way
I said I am boring I don't talk anyways
I write
I fight authorities, injustice, and on a metaphysical level
what cigarettes did you smoke
winston
i thought you said that was a good name for a turtle
me and simon or something, can't remember who said it, now
anyways the name of the artist is actually ryan adams & the cardinals
his solo work is better
if I may cross-examine you, or do you feel cross-examined
i am
