sunrise on the dark streets of decay


neither of us owns a car

but i rented a u-haul

kept walking up and down stairs

taking things from her apartment

that would soon end up in mine

 

as i picked things up

she kept squeezing my biceps

i was getting annoyed

but she wasn’t

 

and i found myself on top of her

on top of her kitchen table

 

she had some heated discussion

with some japanese man

i think it was her landlord

 

i don’t know what was said

as it was all said in japanese

but i could tell he wasn’t happy

 

she left a lot behind

said it came with the place

i was just happy

we could do it all in one trip

 

as she did one last check

i stood by the truck smoking

noticing how the sunlight

saturated all the cracks

 

haven’t spent a lot of time lately

in the daylight world of experience

 

the sunshine felt good

almost joyful

and the streets slower in decay

 

then jenny came into view

and the months since november

began to just fade away
