So Goes the TV

aw man what a day!
i was confused.
i was sad.
i was anxious.
i was well fed.

i was loud.
i was hyper.
i was bitchy.
i was gassy

nothing escaped me.
my mind fled the scene.
i was pure emotion.
rolling, just rolling on my hormonal waves.

so my kid has the tv on
and it amuses me,
but if she leaves,
so goes the TV!!!

3 Kisses

slowness grows upon my bones
reverse osmosis stalls my degradation
on top of the mountain i made from a dirty clothes pile
i am queen of everything i own
which is mostly the cheapest things i can buy
one kiss from you undid all i knew

yellow dr. pepper caps scattered on my desktop
they wait to unlock a prize for me
this is all i used to have to look forward to
two kisses from you raised my expectations

tv was my social calendar
i scheduled my life around the make believe world
thinking i have no need for more
i can live alone
i am my own best friend
three kisses from you showed me that's not true
i need you!
