BREAKFAST IS FOR QUITTERS

 

a dream sleeping under newspapers
on an old park bench.

love hung on a rusty nail.

sunday morning suicide
under hollow church bells.

A BREAK AFTER ALL

 

Shining like a new diamond,
I'm finally smiling again.

With a shuffle to my step,
I cast your penny into a fountain.

After all of this,
after it all,

I'm still able to wish you the luck
that should have been mine.
