This Part Sucks

Just because there’s always a next part
Doesn’t mean this part doesn’t suck
Rottweiler chasing the mailman
But the mailman is quick so he doesn’t give a damn.
Happiness is only a mood
So why do I keep on trying to chase something that’s not perpetual?
I wish I had another answer other than my favorite triple threat.
I don’t know.
What’s a mouthwash bottle with no crusty ring around the top?
I’m feeling rusty.
Washed at 24
No more revelations left in store.
For years I was so Switzerland.
Married to the thrill of not making any enemies.
What’s a book with parts where you’re not all self-absorbed as you read?
You chalk it up as daydreams
Even though the book is giving you exactly what you need.
What do you mean?
Am I really that dependent?
It couldn’t be my fault though, can it?
Yes.
It could.
There’s a me themed everything if I’m not looking hard enough.
Hopefully it’ll pass.
So October’s gone fast
Okay, this is not so bad.
November will probably last a little longer.
December wastes away
Sorry, I’m such a humbug.
January probably will be the same.
February, maybe that’ll be a little better.
March, march much faster, would you please?
April, why are you still fucking here?
May, May, May
Why are you still fucking here?
Next Summer is the Summer
Or so we think.
Next Summer is the Summer
Or so we’ve thought all along.
We thought the same about this year though
And look how wrong we were.
At least we can break the chalk back out
And deem it all a clean slate.
Unless we all die before then.
That would suck.

It's Gotta Be The Fish

Today I wore my coolest clothes.
It’s gotta be the fish.
This evening I wrote songs I liked.
Tonight I felt the touch of Fall.
It’s gotta be the fish.
Right now I’m holding my love tight.
No coincidence.
I don’t want this to end ever.
Every day I’m feeling heartbroken
It couldn’t be the fish.
Every day I feel like I betrayed myself
I wasn’t careful for what I wished for.
Back then I was holding my love tight
It had to have been the fish.
What a coincidence.
Here I am
Back for seconds.

7/11
AM/PM
How un-fucking-convenient.
It’s kind of pathetic
I am so hungry.
I don’t want to admit it.
The simplest handshake or high five shouldn’t get me as hyped as they both do.
Starving, starving
I’m a nightmare
You said it yourself.
Yes, I know that you were joking.
I don’t got the touch.
Power is a monument
What the hell?
Lowe’s
Home Depot
What’s the difference?
Leo
Virgo
Sagittarius
There’s obviously a difference.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
All I know is my catchphrase.
It’s “I don’t know.”
I don’t know if I’ll get the touch.
Trap beats blaring from a Camry with a Jesus fish
Is this my soulmate?
Juxtaposition.
That shit’s my Pepsi and Coke.
No, I’m not joking.
Actually, I don’t know if you were.

I was such a fucking asshole the day we painted Xena’s bookshelf Dusty Lavender.
I am such a pleasant little guy to be around
When it’s brink of disaster
When everyone else is acting too much like a bastard.
The air around the bushes has been beaten by me
More times than the Bushes bombed Baghdad
It’s not all that hard to see why I have this reputation for being sad.
Swallowing cinnamon rolls on the side of the hill
My bosses are mad at me
What do you mean you are furious?
I’m building muscle
Like you wanted me to.
If Anthony Bourdain killed himself after traveling the world
What chance do we have trapped in hick towns?
Don’t drown, please, in what I have a tendency to say.
Family get married
And then they get divorced, of course
The wildest I’ll probably ever go is getting myself a ranch
And maybe an abandoned mule
What can I say?
I’m afraid of being abandoned too.
I hope that mule kicks attitude
I need someone to check me like a hockey player
Preferably every day.
If Mario Lemieux came back with nothing left to prove
What does that prove about my likelihood of being too clingy?
Don’t become stingy, please, in what I have a tendency to not do.
(na na na na na na na na na)

It Could Be Worst

Tried to buy a pawn shop DVD copy of “Sideways”
Didn’t have any money
It was pretty funny.
I think I am scared of middle age just like Paul Giamatti in the movie
And the others that he’s in.
All my friends play Words With Friends without me
I feel so excluded.
“Sensitive”
That’s worth a lot of points
I knew it.
Just like the homeless guy’s sign said outside of Denny’s by the curb
“It all could be worst.”
But what’s the ’t’ for?
Is he praying?
Should I start praying?
Should I?
