Winter-Spring, New York, NY, 2008 - J. Waggle

Boxes

  1. She's across the ocean
  2. Killing herself with music and dance
  3. I'm across the country
  4. Killing myself with doubt and remorse
  5. No one will look at me
  6. I look with disdain and grief
  7. There is no answer to the call
  8. No gravy for this stuffing
  9. I am a thousand silver-gray boxes
  10. Piled high inside of me
  11. They open at random
  12. Revealing parts of me that I never
  13. Wanted to know
  14. Now I'm a carnival ride at a closing fair
  15. Making myself nauseous while others enjoy me
  16. I want to get off.
  17. I want to get off.
