tommy's ghost
08/20/09, 01:32 PM
I hit the bed diagonally,
A line across the 4:59 PM.
Either/Or pools in my ears.
Something with so much meaning
is lost on I, a forehead of a beach.
I dream of mountain goats braying diary entries
atop lofty peaks where clouds seem real,
and not just ghosts of five minutes ago.
But, I awake five minutes later,
Six minutes after 2:45 AM,
Realizing that not enough people listen to Elliott Smith,
And that Eliot was right in saying we are hollow men;
For my dreams are lost on I, a shot-glass.
Watch yourself drown, Elliott.
Watch yourself over-flow, Eliot.
