Purple Sundress
Folder:
2005 When was the last time you sat under rain?
In a full days worth clothing.
In a purple sundress.
Crying.
Just like the sky does.
Till the water soaked all the way
To my black bra and cotton underwear.
And the mascara runs look permanent.
Like a "punk rock" music video.
The time of day to avoid the tv
"Punk" makes one vomit
It's an empty word.
My hair groups in whimsical sections
(whimsical makes a curly haired person that way)
Water droplets showing off the forehead I
Hide with bangs
Sitting down on patio cement and watching
As the rain slaps down on a
Layer of atmospheric water
Pressing my thoughts
Like soft beds-
"Touch your finger on me it leaves a mark"
-Like marshmallows-
"Middle of bed glass of wine doesn’t move when I jump"
On the infomercials
(They seem to feel the need to prove products in
insufficient ways)
When was the last time you sat at a concert?
Smelt the high class hair salon products abuzzing
Central vault for a penny a thought
Thought of the platinum blondes
Sitting ahead of me dancing drunk
To songs I know that sound
A little d er an ged.
When was the last time you forced
a smile
a crush
a poem
a nap
a cry
an epiphany
?
