“I bet that guy outside’ll buy”

A specific word for this disappointment

My head filled with imaginary arguments

I couldn’t have him chasing me from one library to another, for all I knew he might visit every library within twenty miles, regaling everyone in his path with his friendliness.

Offering little hope of grandeur

Their measurements were immeasurable

Postponed by drinking the wine slowly

One sad example of many unlucky people who in their lives do not take the place which they deserve.

A fire is good in one’s own hearth, but spreading it is called arson

Exiting orifices in the form of baby food

God gave life to men and then put women at their side to suffer it

The shirt I button up to the top button because there’s no reason not to

Came flying not blood and dark gore and ripped black cloth but an issue of birds, in plume, on wing

She wanted him to do a full nelson on her

Sherbet light falls on all surfaces in all directions

‘YOU ARE A THIRD AND IN A HOLLOW THERE CAN ONLY BE TWO’

How all that was promised was not here

It might be the skin of a bull they loved

Artificially inseminate the growing baby inside of you

They resembled talons

We’re all just trying our best

Through these holes that I slid finally

I ate the Xanax you gave me
