I’m laying in bed
When suddenly
My body convulses
And as I’m recovering
I’m hit by another jilt.
Just as a government drone
Buzzes over my head,
Over roofs and out beyond.
I avoid my nipples
Because it reminds me of you
I shudder
And try to ignore it
But I write a poem instead
And I try to lay here long enough
To forget to forget to forget
But forgetting never comes
My life gonna change
She sez
My life gonna change
She sez again
Like I can’t hear
Change!
And every new thing
From getting up in the morning
To the next disastrous guy
Gonna be different
Gonna not be the same.
