I could lose myself
to the white noises of summer...

I am a lonesome songbird
trapped inside this steel cage of words...

I could smoke herb cigarettes
and sleep till noon...

I miss you
and my poetry has suffered immensely...

The end of love
shouldn't linger ever so long...

Darling,
I can't stand the state...

Because
is simply not good enough for him...

I'd like to be your daffodil
and kiss you with my petals...

If you will not
let your armor down...

Before you let me down
again...

Momma says I've got a poet's heartache
that I dally...

He still hasn't called,
I check the dial tone again...
