she has a date with gauzy hotels and those pills that make everything better

[myspillcanvas]

we never drove fast enough
to get away from these city
walls. i'm tangled up in these
strings, names above my
headboard, ivory lines. i want
to ride in the passanger seat
next to all your lost ambitions
and dangling dreams. i'll be your
bait over open water just as
long as someone pulls me in
line and sinker. i'll swim with
the fish, surrounded in scales.
again. i just need a reason to
keep my head above water.
