semi-sweet & sour strawberries / plums / and kiwis / gum-shocker sweet mornings / i stay up too late, and there's light outside the window / i've missed the sunrise again / caught up in a world i don't live in / caught up on numbers. / in the morning i will go downstairs / i will think too much of numbers i don't like / i will bite into the cold skin of summer with / wild abandon / i will avoid grapefruits / and wish for a better tomorrow. / now it is still tenuously night. / with a black sky / drowned in smog / and plums in the fridge too far away / my stomach growls / and i can only think in numbers and fruits and please.

amen.
