<h5>This Is How The Wind Blows In The Face Of Eternity</h5>
<p>you poor<br />
immature<br />
sod</p>
<p>waiting<br />
to be<br />
discovered</p>
<p>America<br />
did not come<br />
to Columbus!</p>
<div>
<h5>Victoria!</h5>
<p>Victoria!<br />
every exclamation point cannot describe you.<br />
drop dead gorgeous!<br />
what are you doing in that place?<br />
I told you, &#8220;I was in love with you,<br />
then I fell out of love with you,<br />
and now I am in love with you again.&#8221;<br />
and you laughed and said, &#8220;we had our space, our groove,<br />
our moment in time.&#8221;<br />
I said, &#8220;I want to see you again.&#8221;<br />
you said, &#8220;OK.&#8221;<br />
now my thoughts are consumed by you<br />
and why I ever left you.<br />
what was I thinking when I stuck my tongue<br />
out at you with that other woman by my side?</p>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Bookstore</h5>
<p>I went out looking for<br />
D.H. Lawrence.</p>
<p>I came home with<br />
Villon and Carl Sandburg.</p>
<p>reminds me of a date<br />
I once had<br />
about 3 years ago.</p>
<div>
<h5>Singlehood</h5>
<p>we smoke cigarettes in the house.<br />
we are alone<br />
and loving it</p>
<div>
<h5>Note To A Friend Who Had Once Made My Heart Smile:</h5>
<p>you<br />
have<br />
lost<br />
your<br />
edge.</p>
