Jack dreaded the everything
The frost on the window
His mothers sighs
The empty white paint in the living room
The screech of the tv
The smell of garlic and pasta cooking
The mmm gotta get it
The fairway eyes
A no nothing day
He longed for a beer or some bennys
Anything to take the now fucking away
And bring the now here closer
And loosen the lips that sink ships
The hips
That fly trips
Up the scrabble game nights
In small town
America
Like the poet said
But it was not here
Not tonight
Not Melville
Or Queequeg
In a half of the bed
Before shipping out on
A Greyhound to Smallbvile, other Place
In the back woods
Smelly hungry day
Eating eggs and bacon
With a guy named Jim
(Who's paying for it)
This sucks
Sorry
