| in the arm pit, i find my stolen 60 bucks. there is no neutralism anymore, asshole. i can�t just pretend i didn�t find it. i can�t just pretend you robbed me blind while i was looking the other way. how much did you steal? what did you steal while i wasn�t watching? (a lot of begging, a lot of promises, a lot of good memories and polaroid moments. and then i�m out, my truck leaving a great cloud of dust and debris.) it wasn�t just the money. it wasn�t the dirty dishes and ashtray carpet. it wasn�t the grimy, cat piss curtains or the moldy coffee cups spawning a generation of vegetation. it wasn�t the constant springer and oprah and mtv. it wasn�t boxed up fast food and sunday trips to discount stores. it wasn�t just the countless nights i laid awake, wondering if there was ever a true moment of unity in our union. (and at the corner of the high way�s entrance, is my love, a sign that reads �You or Bust� in one hand and his thumb jerked out on the other. i pull over and roll down my window. he smiles slightly and leans towards me.) �you never really believed, sitting on your high horse and waitin� with your mighty misconceptions and fairy-taling; this is what it means to be a man, whether you wanna believe it or not. now i�m back, baby and i got things to say. i�m not afraid anymore. i got promises to make. i got dreams to follow. i got plans and a future. i got lots to offer you if you just let yourself go. this time it�s real. this time, i�m real. you have to believe in the real me. it might not be pretty, it might not be tidy but it�ll be me, i promise. just let me in, just let me come in and i�ll say it the way it truly is, just like i shoulda from the very start. just let me in.� |
