The 365 Project Pt. II

it was today about thirty
years ago today colder than
hell the mist off the river
held tight the trees in heavy
glass pulled them right down

we pressed eggs to see how
much they could take and i
was surprised it was so much
before the pop and fingers
wet with almost chickens

i found this all
in an old notebook
i don’t remember any of this
but it’s got my name
all over it

i slept for two days in a bed
full of leaves it says here they
smelled like dirt not in the
bad way like cardboard or
death but like how it is outside

and there’s a note it should
be filmed in color that there’s
never enough black and white
and it should stay like that
too much color’s got me down

i found this all
in an old notebook
i don’t remember any of this
but it’s got my name
all over it
