Prose to the lady in line behind me at the pharmacy:

(this might be important
for people like me)
it might be important
for people like us
to learn-

the difference
between a need and a want
good and bad
wrong and
right.
hunger-
and absolutely starving
to death.

love-
and the pathetic desperation
of yet another
meaningless
word

but i guess,
i probably
hate god
and republicans,
rich people
and starbucks

and i guess,
what it must
look like
to you
is that i
love
making
all of those
tragic mistakes
that i save for
only the most
important
decisions
that are made
at every
crucial
moment

or maybe i don’t need the lesson.

am i the only one
around here
that thinks
the word
/confused
gets thrown around
an awful lot
by a bunch of people
that weren’t up
at four o'clock
in the morning
digging around
in the kitchen trash
looking for a syringe
they used the
least.
