Roller Coasters make me sick, but sometimes you have to just have to ride them. So, begrudgingly hand in your ticket and take my advice. Enjoy the highs and don't overemphasize the lows.
every night i sleep. alone. naked. but alone. every morning I wake up late. alone. naked. and look in the mirror at myself. it's nothing visually exciting. behind me there is an empty room. a naked boy steals most of the view. this morning i awoke. alone. naked. happy. i looked in the mirror and said, david things are pretty ok.
I'm counting the days but my nights have me numbered. I'll lose one more of whichever like every vacation or hotel stay even though the place I'm leaving is home. My car ride out is an opus of silent symphonies that scream for more lowered expectations as my route proves I've bitten off more than I can chew.
I get to work early today; I'm that much closer to death. I walk to the corner store and buy another last pack of Camels. I look up at the dusk retreating away and pray for the sunrise to make haste.
