juvenile, yes, and then some.

i'm not quite clean, anymore
and the spots where i
reminded my flesh of its master
have become soft welps, bruising
at the edges

poetry exists, but
only in presentation

half assed, i spent the day
crawling around courtrooms

and if you want to talk about frustrations, i have
amassed
a new and strange amount of problems
with the past
coming back to smile over me
in phone calls and letters
and the girl across the street
when i think about you

confessing secrets to her
sprawled out under her covers

i shouldn't be here anymore
shouldn't be mentioning my name
shouldn't be showing my poor face
but i'm pretending


i'm pretending i'm okay.
