April 9th.

this is what happens when you drink vodka like water.

I went nuts in the yellow tube of madness
practicing mcdonalds playplace politics
squeezing past crazy gaptoothed smiles
comfortably thinking of you.

Light pollution killed the sky so we watched the sad massacre in silence.
Nine drinks later, the universe began to turn on us.
The trees grew longer branches with enormous leaves,
suffocating the sun.

Even in the dark we could smell the cigarettes baking on the pavement.
I felt you somewhere else and knew you were hers, again.
F**k the bullshit.
I'm leaving you where I found you, and if you too are cunning then learn to lie better.

Wet walk alone to the parking garage
as the clouds melted back onto the earth.
The youth has it out for themselves
taking turns licking the moon
to get to the center of
of what?
of you and me and everything in between?
of the cop watching us down the street?
of this rooftop and all of us dead down beneath
street level
putting the fear of god into your
sandwich
cause we all know what's gonna turn to s**t faster.

I still feel responsible for ruining you.
you were from the part of town where every kid has a bank account.
I'm from the part of town where they're too scared to put a bank.
now you drop acid and chew wires just to feel the
buzzzz

When did everything get so f*****g complicated?

Author's Note

My night as seen through bloodshot eyes.

I genuinely think its awful, and somewhat unlike everything else I write, but I took the time to type it up, so here it is.

Reviews

its not perfect {as perfect as I know you can fix a thing} but it's fresher than everything else I've read lately, which includes some books, so that says something about your power.

miss you.

[Zatoichi]

This is great, sad, honest to the emotion without being indulgent. On second read, it felt new and even more powerful. I hope you publish more soon.
Also, I hear your voice distinctly here, and I love it.

Very, very impressive Chloe. Fresh, raw, edgy, real. Always nice to stumble upon true talent. Keep this up, you have a voice that should be heard. Great stuff.

Edgier than ever. There's just something about this that really hits home.
I really love this write.
&once again, you're writing has made it into my favorites.
