We had to find a mattress
for four nights in Germany
We chose a twin pad
with a British flag and
words like love and
travel all over

I love shopping
lately for
crowds to hide in
audiences to become
a passive part of

Am I lazy?

The cinema's like
the farmer's market
for fresh tears

One of these days
I'll just buy popcorn
cry and leave

Am I milking the movies
or are they squeezing me like a lemon
Have I just been around long enough
to justify anything as productive?

Maybe I am supposed to be writing
more love letters
pos-ter-ity
Trust me
no one wants to hear
that I don't have
anything to say

Maybe a quiet audience
is the best place
