Tossing pebbles at your window
it's two am on a high school thursday:
I am the person you thought I was.
Lets go! 72 Hours of highways!
Then, Refuge in the raging
Mississippi!

We'd never go back
if only we would go.

You, in one of your
1000 ridiculous sunglasses
blasting Pavement CD's
and glowing; the april breeze
amplified by open windows
and lightened by your hair.

I think we knew: if we left 
we could never go back
to merely living.

Now, I buy feminine sunglasses 
obsessively, like Gatsby 
doing whatever the hell it was
that Gatsby was always doing.
You stopped liking pavement.
Gatsby was lucky enough 
to end up with a bullet hole
instead of "moving on."

Rich girls
don't marry 
poor boys.

My future has barely dented the one
I longed to get away from
with you, through you, in you. 
And you, 
you.

You asked me once:
"How Would You Like To Die,
If You Had The Choice?"

We always have the choice.

A speeding car 
heading towards 
obliteration.
