by rain or shower head

Posted to Action Poetry




atmospheric conditions
call for
caulking a tub
and even though
the walls are rotten
a little paint should take care of it
so what does it matter
if i have a cut on my lip
and i can still smell you
on my skin?

(what does it matter/you're done for anyway)


it looks like rain
or maybe it's just night
and i hope it was good for you
because i can't remember




i still wear the evidence
but that doesn't mean i think of you


(that doesn't mean i think of you)


and someday
by rain or shower head
i will finally know what it means
to tell you

goodbye.
