    Years Months Days 

    so i remain myself 
    despite you
    being a little bitch
    about the state of us

    our bodies have too many holes
    so we're kinda tubes
    for sad existence

    some nights
    your toes taste like mushrooms
    and laughter
    works better than lexapro

    in bed
    memory foam can't remember
    who was wronged




    WAFFLE HOUSE

    under golden glow
    of waffle house sign
    about to text
    sex dreams
    where we make out
    in lake radnor
    cold water
    so nipples are erect
    this just fantasy
    no pressure
    our lives one poem
    smothered
    covered
    hashbrowns
    good as fuck
    and i think of her
    as ernaux
    without inhibition
    watching eyes wide shut
    on my phone
    like pornography
    i do not touch myself yet





    Driving Drunk

    it often felt
    like hitting the jackpot
    as getting home safe
    a few thousand dollars
    my nights my own again
    when nothing killed me
    but i wasn't alive

    Cletus Crow is mostly a poet. His two collections are available from Pig Roast Publishing.
