the patience and wisdom
coming with age
are fast becoming
my favorite shoes to wear
.
as my own horseshit
and the shenanigans of others
become less excusable
with each passing day
every birthday candle wished upon and blown
.
there comes a point
when you’ve been told
you know better
.
repeated behaviors are either psychosis
or selfish forms of masturbation
such as the poets who write
their daily vengeance poem
scribbled in shit and crayon
on unsuspecting
psych ward facebook walls
.
god
grant me the serenity
to zip my lips when called for
.
to know when to spit
and when to swallow
.
but mostly
when to say
fuck off

Dude. If i could properly express my love for your words… well, that would just be very cool. I’m working on it!
haha. Brilliant work as always.
Having unplugged Facebook for the foreseeable future, I am now reading only Murakami… and you. I’m sure there’s another pair of favorite shoes in all this, somewhere.
Murakami is a world unto himself. I’m honored to share the shelf…
