new school old school

a bittersweet dream
you and i walked then we laughed
i wake up, real eyes

it’s a brand new year.
did you really think you would
stop eating hot dogs?

“you’re the funniest!”
she says to him. he replies,
“just the loneliest.”

here’s an exercise:
make a list of ev-rything
you are thankful for

maybe i should not
have responded right away
but oh well i did

there are so many
albums i can’t listen to
no more cos of you.
