where will this wilderness end
when it was only yesterday
that I cleaned
and went to the bar
with friends because I had
a productive day of doing things
which is positive compared to the alternative
and met this girl
who was a friend of lipstick and looks
and me
for I took her home
and I apologized for the mess
though she said nothing
while
streaking across the floor
and bedspread
stuffing the place with squeals
and squawks
that make me think it’s morning
in spring
though there is little bounce
and less growth than expected
because I don’t last long
and she leaves before night ends
and I feel as though
I had never lived here
for I have left with her
to the place
where she wanted more
and found it empty and scrubbed
like a mortuary
before making a killing
