friday morning brautigan


IMPASSE

i talked a good hello
but she talked an even
better goodbye


AT THE GUESS OF A SIMPLE HELLO

at the guess of a simple hello
it can all begin
toward crying yourself to sleep
wondering where the fuck
she is.


HEROINE OF THE TIME MACHINE

when she was fifteen if you'd told her
that when she was twenty she'd be going
to bed with bald-headed men and liking it,
she would have thought you very abstract.
