• The floorboard in the passenger seat
  • is flooding with the paperwork
  • from all the jobs
  • I failed to keep.
  • Vacant packs of cigarettes
  • strewn, destroyed and unclean.
  • Hairbrush, toothbrush
  • skin of my teeth,
  • hateful uniform underneath.
  • this ain’t my car
  • this ain’t my home
  • The floorboard in the passenger seat
  • is flooding with receipts,
  • Zero in the bank,
  • drained the E.B.T. -
  • dead vapes and dirty clothes,
  • I’ll never be clean again.
  • An unloaded gun rests in the hand
  • of the couch crasher,
  • of the dream smasher,
  • Can’t even sell it -
  • can’t even, I can’t even
