I'M THINKING ABOUT ALEC BALDWIN AGAIN

i came across a subreddit about celebrities, a comment about alec baldwin
            an unpleasant man

                                                               and once i found a bee, grains of sand clinging to its
                                                                             tiny hairs before i crushed it between my
                                                                                                         index fingers

i must be allergic to the inside of the houses, yes, the doors maybe


           i spy with my little eye the urge to flip someone off just in that bagel shop around
the corner,


                kidding! those don’t exist in the midwest


hold on – corporate centipedes and wistful wanderers sounds like something he would say right
about now     and i’m sure brushing his hair and greeting the mouse under the stove is enough
some days                 but what about a sock full of ice cubes y’know        how should i know,

                                          this is getting boring

                                                                sometimes i think about being a standup comedian,
                                                                mouthing these lines to others, but all i can do now
                                                                is yell at the screen two inches from my face

               and i am ashamed.
