from “pointing at the window while asking for the door”

Joe Nicholas

if only this mouth in the ceiling could lick up its drool

no  /  this is not stardust  /  this is an attempt

at sanity  /   do you ever wonder

if we’re already doomed  /  i do

so often it hurts

if i had a nickel for every time  /  i would give you

all of them

if i had the time to build a steamboat

i would spend it in the garden

instead
