“don’t get me wrong,
we all take off our hospital bracelets
different times and different places
but from the moment i first seen him
he reminded me of a vulture and i
passed out drunk in the backyard
cross legged eating a popsicle
i woke up all covered up purple
which means the popsicle was
grape but you already knew that
get him to stand on a scale
and drink twelve coca colas
he reminded me of two trees
that grew too close together”
