shirtless in the park

freedom.

i am
lurching
under
sleepy-eyed
oak
trees
shirtless
and
drunk
with a
can of
coors
in my
hand
and
moms
give me
disapproving
mom looks
and i
just
stare
at their
tits
and
take
a swig
of
beer.

This just fell out of my pen.

You're really good at writing from the perspective of a happy-but-unhappy man. I love the details that make it relatable (isn't that a word? Spell check is telling me it's not)...it captures an ordinary but very telling moment. The "disapproving mom looks" bit made me smile.

you have been reading a lot of Bukowski. Love it.
