i don't really know why i take this pill
people outside my window play beer
pong in the heavy summer afternoon
it is such a tradgedy, such a burden
to be born rich.
"BORN RICH - THE TRUE LIFE DOCUMENTARY, INSIDE THE LIVES
OF THE CHILDREN OF MILLIONAIRES."
Dream, when the day is through
says that old song....
how do these marigolds grow,
i thought i knew the words all along.

Yesterday i pulled some flowers
out of the dumpster, fake
lilies and white roses
the bouquet sits
on my dresser.
