Hollowed Out

Passed out in a booth
Mike’s 21st, when the
Bartender nudged me and said:
“Can’t sleep here”

Funny
Couldn’t sleep anywhere
Until tonight
2245

Red couch
Everyone’s looking in their
Bottles now
Hollowed out

Pumpkinfests
The dream of Hartsburg and
The Coffee Shop
Hot ends of cigarettes

Making my nose run
Out instead
Goodnight, goodnight
Torso in a press and

Mangled at the address of the
Extinct quarry
Hallowed and hollowed
Hollowed out

Used to be easy
Used to be
Thoughtless
Painless

Used to come from within
Used to live without

Sunday to Saturday
AM to PM
Used to live without
