    This end in ending brings me to a fit
    not fearing neighbours heard your rush of f ucks.

    I want to cherry-light cigarettes with you
    And drink Jack Daniels and honey
    Until we can no longer taste the sweetness
    I want to look up at the smoke you’ve exhaled
    To watch it create cloudy wisps that make
    The sky look like a Van Gogh Painting
    I want you to notice the way my eyes
    Seem to change colour as the night falls darker
    And I want to tell you not to get up
    So we can stay here a little longer
    And pretend that everything we do
    Matters

    It seems you've advanced but what was it you've advanced from?
    You have more money now. That's an advance surely.
    Time was not wise.

    No, it wasn't about money. I'm just as deep as poor.
    Of course, money never mattered.

    Then the word loser came to mind and god knows we must avoid that.
    Oh, I've never fallen for the prescribed attitudes of the many.

    Is that so?

    She won't read long poems.
    She says they make her sad
    like –
    kids singing into a hole
    thinking it's a pit.

    There's a field where everyone goes to die
    and they all clasp hands
    as they lie in the tall grass.

    The sun is warm and bright and not one feels
    as though this is soon
    to go into the empty.

    Pain has never been given to pain here,
    nor is there a care
    about this false weigh station anymore.

    Thank you, Tony!

    I almost never like things I write, but I liked this. I'm glad you read it.

    pleasure

    take pleasure
    in what you do
    because without it
    you don't do
    you grow
    new into old
    such weed
    is told
    smile is sold

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    When you realize most things you write are like most things you might say.

    That's not good.

    You have not thought, even though it is just thought, and not you.

    Or perhaps you have thought too much and you should give that up.

    sweet talk me
    but that is all you're getting
    after that it's letting
    either you go
    or I so:
    honey leaks low
    hardens by the mo.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly
