Musings

A Poem by Katie Kistler

I listened to To Philly (Live in Fresno) all night 

thought of other people listening for a little cry

cause it makes me feel much closer to Victoria 

a girl I’ll never meet and never know 

I fantasized about my small apartment

but the dream has obviously changed a bit

there’s a cat now and I don’t see myself writing 

just coming home to my green velvet chair to sit 


I feel content to lay back and watch the world go by

don’t have nowhere I want to go or things I’d like to try

I just want to be loved by somebody who tries 

as hard as me

I wonder why 

the earth is slowly spinning as we elevate 

the population size is such a mindfuck

so why haven’t I met my f*****g soulmate?

I really must be s**t out of luck 


I looked at pictures of some pretty girls to feel alive 

I listened to some sing with all their hearts

I ate some fruit and sat in silence for a little while 

and tried to write down what I felt as though it’s art

and if the big one came to take them all away on the west coast

what do you think all of us might do?

every artist, every actor selling out to make a buck

but there’re no company to even sell them to


a brand new building world 

full of people just like you 

I’m sure we’ll come from small and humble towns

we’ll be learning how to teach them all the things they taught themselves 

so they can feel it all again if they so choose
