rain runs down windscreen

lazy lights play with wet shadows

I’m sitting in the car

got the radio on

listening to sad songs

because i want to

and because i can

the windows are fogging up

the car is full of exhaled cigarette

I’m sitting in the car

radios still on

playing another

sad song

i nod in approval

and light another cigarette

i replaced a tear in my eye

with a silly smile

and hid it on my lips

waiting. ready…

i'm sitting in the car

with the radio on

there's no end to the sad songs

those stir ya gut real bad songs 

the you have no reason to be glad songs

there will never be an end to all the sad songs

i stubbed my ciggy out

and went inside 

put a Mr Bungle record on 

loud

Track 1 00:33

sad poetry
