Kentucky Loves Our New Oregon Pictures In Neons (3 Mega Prints)

I took one and spun
like a top
that turns right around
and stings when it stops,
in front of you,
and I then I took two
to reach out for you
but fell short to a pocket
with a number in script
and felt dizzy and short of it--
sort of sick--
and I was looking just for a friend
not the one's who just play pretend
not the tea time brigade never on call
not the see through who make me feel small

and I was looking just to connect
with a mind as pretty as a face
and a tongue that doesn't just race
whose thoughts don't take up space
and i found myself in a daze,
a parked car in shock and in pain

when i think of writing about this,
and your eyes just trying to shift
between melancholy and confidence
I was looking just for a friend
a late night call to pretend
i'm not as alone as I am.

and I'm wishing up at the stars
blurry eyed trying hard not to squint
look to the ones who've taken advice
from the ones who didn't know shit
and I would've taken it,
it I hadn't taken them,
maybe I'd stay awake,
and find a friend,
not to pretend
that I'm as lonely as I am.
