Subway Submit

another's grief settled
under my skin 
yes/terday
no more tough love
              grin and bear it 
              aspirations
simple submission of the highest degree
snotty sobbing on a train
desperately
failing
at 


keeping it together again
a single stranded stranger
wishes me well 
six     m  o  n  t  h  s    hence she whispered
it might look different, 
rest your weary head now kid, 
it gets better

under cover loneliness
though lowness is no shame
with all this heavy rain
creating soggy graves and sunken brains
I can/not justify this
sinkhole

put    on    yer
  happy         face, love
it ain't that bad
grizzly drunkard gives me his leering tumble
nervous tick develop
at a centuries-old gaze
forget forget
this proprietary theft
wash clean of it

halfway to drowning in a lukewarm bath 
benzobody numb 
swollen glands 
wrinkled hands
pull myself up
grit my teeth
remembering
death is not pretty
