Beginning in an Ending

Every day has a beginning and ending

Just like every life has a start and finish

July is gone

Like the gasoline it took

To make the circle again

Florida to Florida, by the way of America

Cocaine and soda

Playing Tetris in our underwear

We take turns reading letters

I read the haiku and you move your nails across my legs

In your arms, I don't know who I am

Taking all I know about nihilism

And trying to build it into a life

With your thought in mind, I walk the streets down to the shore

And I sink into the Pacific

This is everything up to now ending

It was nice to believe for a while
