hate-flirting with reality

August 13, 2013
By Anonymous

i wanna live in a watery world.

i wanna shiver and waver on the surface of a puddle. to disappear into ripples when someone steps on me instead of breaking into pieces like the fragile idiot i am in reality.

reality doesn’t sit well with me, i think.

it sidles over to you, looking like the coolest kid you’ve seen. it crooks a smile at you, leans back, whispers a question into your ear.

"so why should i care about you?"

you’d think it’d at least have the decency to look like the greasy bookie it actually is.

This has a good voice behind it. You should read Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski.

I really like this. It has truth and honesty, not to mention emotion, in it. Going to my favorites.:P
