Ghazal Attempt. I wear my watch so much, I have watch tan.Ghazal Attempt. by ~atomikshopincart
I carry guilt so much, I should have guilt tan.
Fizzy piss-yellow beer fills my cup
As I pine for something darker.
At the bottom of the glass, there lie no answers,
They were overlooked on the trail leading to it.
People think Im more entertaining when I drink,
But I always dissapoint them when I fall asleep.
God doesnt bother to watch you sleep,
If He did, it would make Him creepier.
All knowing, all seeing, all consuming,
All American: reality television.
Just go back to sleep, you freak,
You can hold the pee until morning.


Stagnant Pond. You are the stagnant pondStagnant Pond. by ~atomikshopincart
And the layer of green on the mud.
You are the reeds, swaying gently.
I am the curling, swimming larvae,
Developing under your surface
He is the wind,
Promising the eternity of the Horizon.
He is the sky, open, but incomplete.
As a freshly developed mosquito
I am drawn to him as he whisks me away,
For he is the wind
And you, withdrawn, are the stagnant pond.
