2001-10-21 - 2:51 a.m. - a new song
im tired and shes asleep on the couch. do i wake her up to take her home? do i just let her sleep there? so peaceful, i hate to ruin that peaceful sleep. its rare for me to see any of my friends so much at peace. only when they're asleep. and how often do i ever see any of my friends asleep. its just so fucking beautiful. thats all. when people who i care about greatly, who i love have everything that bothers them, that weighs on their chests--and as a direct result of this, on their hearts as well--erased, even temporarily, it is so beautiful. so fucking beautiful.****
on your street:
houses placed like teeth
when you smile
evenly spaced
at fifteen paces, dug
and placed into the earth.
bricks and wood.
fiberglass and real glass.
plastic placed between pains.
a blanket for your pain.
crying softer than the trains
that howl at midnight.
sweeter than the blood
drawn from fist fights.
baby when you smile i see houses
and highways. pale straight
ghosts like picket fences.
no dream was ever as real
as this.
*******
goodnight.
