.

no one comes to visit
the welcome sign is the loneliest
piece of your house
at least bring it inside
to keep it warm

i cant stop listening to jack kerouac read. and I dont have that much to listen to.

all i have is little pieces of
things and stuff stuck
here and there in my achy brain
open and waiving in
the evening breeze catching
thing like the girls stretching
out cleaning the tops of the
windows from the inside
of the closed down store
show lights off on their toes
squeeeeking their way to transparency
so the morning staff will be
able to see the grumpy hunched
over workers sip their coffee
as they purposefully only
make eye contact with obscenely
happy fluffy dogs that are out
for a morning constitution.
