cemetery dances are the best kind of romances


          (and i feel so much depends on the weather – stp)

 

holding on to all that’s gone i’m walking late at night

its 3 a.m. i’m drinking gin descending to new heights

i’m down and out but mostly down dancing with depression

don’t want to talk cause you’ll just chalk, school me on life’s lessons

companionship would sure be nice but who would hang with me

west coast walker, midnight’s stalker, bathed in poetry

 

a pen and notepad in my hands i write what i just spoke

‘take a toke and choke on smoke until you’re broke you laugh less joke’

i think i wrote that years ago when i was twenty-five

or maybe i was twenty-four and fuck i’m still alive

depressed back then and now again, one cannot recover

hit repeat on ‘wish you were here’ audrey assad’s cover

and walk and drink, cigarette stink with heavy hurting sighs

at six a.m. the bars open and you can resupply
