yass yass

About Me

the guilty undertaker sighs
the lonesome organ grinder cries
the silver saxophones say I should refuse you
the cracked bells and washed-out horns
blow into my face with scorn
but it's not that way
i wasn't born to lose you

My Interests


I met a genius on the train
today
about 6 years old,
he sat beside me
and as the train
ran down along the coast
we came to the ocean
and said,
it's not pretty.

I'd like to meet:
