at what age did you
realize wishes never
come true
that no one is willing
to be helpful without
getting something
in return
you ever tell a woman
you love her and her
immediate reaction
was to laugh
there isn’t enough
alcohol in the world
for those nights
burn holes in the carpet
and all the spoons are
bent too far
the baseball cards
are worthless
and no one gives two
shits about all these
books
everything is digitized
even crime
