Will Respond Honestly





In selfish disillusionment
I set adrift into the black and white text
of empty arms.
SWF seeking who?
Honest? Sometimes.
Overweight? All the time.
I take long walks to the fridge
and hike through my disaster of a room.
I drink through sunsets
and my idea of breakfast-in-bed is the
leftover pizza I passed out on.

Strong, reliable, and independent?
How 'bout stocky, affordable, and co-dependant?

I’m a mess of a man
avid drinker and smoker
a bad quitter.
I’d tell you to forget about me
but you would before I finished
and this is not a race.
