Parked Behind the Waffle House, Doing Whippets

i killed myself 
and got an eviction notice 
he stuck it to 
my coffin with a wad of 
tangerine gum 



my mind has become melted parsley, 

my ears frozen cheese. 

like old aunt ginny used to say 

(lord jesus almighty 

bless her heart 

and soul and catheter) 

'sometimes you drink the milk 

and sometimes the milk 

drinks you.'
