Poem Monday
I should blog about the awesome Bob Dylan concert I went to last week, not realizing the zoo was inside the park and asking directions two blocks from the actual location. I should tell you about how parking was free and the bottle of white zin I drank before the show, th cop that pulled me over after the show, and taking an exist at 1 a.m. that was actually pointed south and added 20 minutes onto my driving tim (which is A LOT when you have to wake up for work the next day)
I want to complain about how people never change and that once I see certain sides of someone that I know I should write them off but too often I give them more chances, reminding myself of all the mistakes I've made.
But instead, a new creepy poem:
Suicide Trivia
I know you're tired
of finding out facts
Broken Bic razors slice flesh
better than most box cutters
I noticed you only use forks
and knives when you come to dinner
after you found the kitchen spoon
lying across my bathroom floor
I stood still and watched
as you covered your ears
(among other parts)
and dropped your eyes down
when I told you that a single person
can make it through sex
with over 30 men
and live to make you cringe
I don't expect you to believe me
when I smoke pot, exhaling
that it's easier
than finding a doctor
to refill a few Adivan
Because there's no need to worry
about the bottle of sleeping pills
I keep in my bedside drawer
Even all 30 of them
have the power to do nothing
but make me sick

He played with Meryl Haggerd in St. Louis, but we were finishing our two bottles of wine and missed him.
Were your tickets ultra expensive??
