TV makes me hungry
Instead of committing suicide, I lie
down thinking about it until reaching
an imaginary scene in which I’m so artistically
dead
in uncharted space when I can
sleep
no more than 11 hrs. at a time, so I sitcom
back and forth between stations
until the laugh track
skips and the commercials crawl
out of the TV
and into my stomach.
lie instead
If you only knew the truth
about the truth,
you would lie instead.
Let it dangle
on the tip of your tongue,
till it tickles,
but then it stings.
You should lie instead.
There is graffiti
on your teeth.
Blowing kisses
to the witnesses,
You should lie instead.
You may not believe me,
but believe me,
your grandchildren will,
so you should lie instead.
Now we’re standing
here
with each other’s opinions
in our pockets.
We should lie instead.
