I go outside to smoke and

there is a man walking by

singing the beetles’

when I’m 64 and

I wish I could hold anything tonight, other

than the greek I’ve been avoiding and

-

as I write this my computer is dying so

I’m always looking at the time I have

left

and so I run passed my girlfriend

to her room to find the power cord

but it was with her instead

-

and maybe I am only reporting

actions in my life or

maybe I am trying to find the meaning

behind all of it

-

but maybe there is none

-

and I’m writing this as she leaves

to lay down outside and then

come back in because

it was too cold
