Lousy Is Feeling

much like a squeezed up toothpaste tube,
     no knotted nothing in you, just tightly twisted
          emptiness;


much like a beer can, you're flattened down
     and out on the pavement by truck tires again
          and again;


much like your tattered, old denim jeans,
     dry and faded, with large holes cruelly torn
          at the knees;


much like crumpled paper, you're tossed out
     and away into the trash bin, useless, totally
          forgotten.
