Long Feist Poems

Basement
Occupied of dirty laundry
Comic books
And Chuck Palahniuk
This grungy fume
Smells of coffee beans
Stirred with cigarette butts
And dirty feet
Neutral Milk Hotel is singing
Through that dirty old stereo of yours
On top is a stack of
Scratched up mixes I...

I'm just coming in and barely alive
I want to be with you but...

Mom and Dad, they took the blame
Weekends away were not the same
Afraid to leave because he might
Do something awful when not in sight

So sad to see the likes of him 
My little boy, now 6 feet tall 
Smokes pot and drinks

Whatever it was, the forgetter forgot
Instead, started rooting in desk drawers,
So old. Each treasure was boxed in original gold 
The guilt went away as I put it all...

Mother of four
Grandmother to five
Married to Alan
To heaven she'll arrive

With the Philadelphia's Eagles
They will fly her so high
To heavens door
But there will be no goodbye

For with the Angels she'll write
As they read her poems
Inspiration she...
