Hey JealousyA Poem by Mohl083autobiographically laying these poems back out for y'all
I steal another cigarette from Andy Then leave just as quickly. His happiness Reflects my isolation. The world is his oyster My pearl is the mucus I hack up in the shower Every morning. The girl I’ve never met, But feel I’ve known Since the dawn of time Flaunts her latest victory. Laurels hang around Her slender, perfect neck. I throw my arm Over the Captain’s shoulder As we sail across The horizon of sobriety. I tuck the babies Into their cribs. As I turn out the lights And sing them gentle lullabies Softly, I curse their names For having everything I ever wanted. Greasy workers In stained denim overalls Punch clocks at five. Drive home to their trailers And f**k prom queens. I lay down On a*s scented sheets Dreaming of a life Outside of a fishbowl. © 2008 Mohl083 |
