orphan eyes, going back to school, cheer up, what are you doing to 
your psyche?
why are you fucking with your chakras?
three to a double bed 6:30 am rolling over feeling married to a girl 
and a boy who I use to know better.
dogs barking at night at two million little lit up eyes, what do they 
see when they look back at you, standing shivering under the flood 
light wrapped in your oldest hand-me-down quilt?
in the middle of the snow drifts ankle deep with bare feet?
I can understand the fetal position, I just don't understand the hands 
that tangle in my hair when I'm trying my best to think straight.
