search and destroy

why is my eye twitching
why is my period late
why is my poop green
why is my hair falling out

how is this still

you were in my dream again
i made you shark cookies
but they fell apart, i left them
at my mothers house

the bus from my mothers
dropped me two houses down
where that kid toucher used to live

no one was there but you, leaning
on my scooter
in a plaid shirt, typical

i looked at the house
with all the things i had lost
and could only wonder how you are
you were good enough to not let me know

you kept turning into skater dan, and 
it  kept our conversation interesting

i'm happy having had followed
family circus zig zags, some srsly
fine wino ways, wayward wanderings
to your old money front door
emblazoned in basil

sweetie,

you lie
at the very end
of the difference between
running the gamut and
running the gauntlet
