around the wrong thing yet again by J.J. Campbell

a spider coming down

from the ceiling at three

in the morning and all

the reasons why you

should have stopped

drinking gin years ago

ruby lips wrapped around 

the wrong thing yet again

she swears she loves you

and all you can imagine

is being penniless, pissing

into a bottle, scribbling

madness on concrete

with your own feces

crack open a bottle of 

brandy just north of 

chicago and watch it 

snow on a balcony ten 

floors from forever

if i was a better man

i would have jumped

her porn star eyes haunt 

me on these kind of nights

sirens blasting

tornadoes revolving

two out rallies in the

bottom of the ninth

remember when your

father gave you a beer

when you were six

he didn’t want to be

the only one with a

disease
