Suddenly Chris G Vaillancourt Suddenly - Chris G. Vaillancourt
 
Suddenly I am thrown and tossed,
                broken and fixed.
Discontent. Unhappy.
Content. Happy.
Watching cars sit at the curb.
Pretending they are all mine.
 
And if they were, I'd drive them
             to many empty parking lots.
Fill up the spaces.
Fill up the spaces.
Desert them.
Collect them later and
                   set them on fire.
But I know this is not real.
My lighter does not even have fuel.
 
Ah, but perhaps the store
                    is still open?
 
Suddenly I am equally unaware
                 of squalid conditions
                           and
                  equally perverse
                            attentions...
Open and shut.
Shut and open.
 
Good friends always help
                 their friends to cry.
