 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
