the world was ugly today

are we all this deluded?
too many crack whores on the corner near my work
so much I can’t articulate lately…always
too late too angry too sad
same guy sitting smoking on the stairs when I come out of the subway
too muggy too smelly too heavy too loud too far too much
forgot I meant to buy strawberries on the way home
at least this summer there’s foxglove everywhere

we all stand around by the river but nothing ever happens

days like today I feel like if we would all just remember how to dance we could save the world
