everything is different now

all the clocks

are central standard time

jets are on the ground.

time flies by.

i suffered so much 

for someone that never cared

(she was right).

and everything is different now.

on the surface of the scar 

is a message

in braille

and only sweet love can read it.

           ***

i slept rotten as a child

i threw up in my sleep

i called out in my dreams

someone crawl into this bed 

and keep me company please!

and he comes.  tender
