life party

by charley, pisces - Not entered

minutes crack
stagger in the door at 4am
in someone else's house.
Don't care where I am,
as long as i'm in my head.
10 bottlecaps and a dead 
cigarette for treasures,
crash in my jeans and sweater
close to the door.
.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   .    .     .      .       .
say something-
can you hear me?
like glue I swim up from the bottom
of sleep.
Wipe dream off my face
and get into a cold car
only to be delivered to an
unwelcome doorstep.
.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   .    .     .      .       .        .
Go out tonight
get away from here.

Minutes crack...
stagger in the door at 4am...
