I Forgot Her There
Three buses and a train ride
everyday to get dosed
Through empty parking lots and rotting flesh
behind back alleys and littered shelters
Further down desolated rows
of abondoned carnival cities
made of tents and hand woven blankets
broken dreams and lost aspirations
fill the air as smoking rising through a chimney
with in the house on the east side of town
unable to afford heat or electricity
i fell asleep subconsciously
dropping the cigarette from my lips
burning the matress below
setting a fire ablaze
that was my heart form the night before
where some unknown named woman slept
beside me
forgetting any memory i was not alone
i proceeded jumping like jack flash as i ran
i ran to the nearest highway entrance
threw out my thumb and kissed the wind
