Never ignore your poetry blog .
It knows where you sleep.

philosophy #2 (up for 3 days watching season 1 of golden girls)

Today my boss told me to be more upbeat-


my cat dared me to tell him to go fuck himself


my friend lost his dreams because he loves his wife

the economy fell 100 feet and no one wants
to hear me say, i told you so, today.

the voice in the mirror said
Remember me? you are supposed to be
staying young...

circling below my eyes, black stains of living sink in to
make bad thoughts of dying
and bad lives and bad results and, one day,
I'll feel OK, again.

and bad lives and bad results and, one day, we'll still be at war."

i like this part the best- it's very strong but perhaps try a different ending besides the 'war'. cause it's about you and that's what makes it strong...and then it's not. also, anything about talking cats mouthing off to rude bosses, of course gets a 'hells yeah' from me. :)
