DUFUS
let me tell you
about the
trampoline
i just witnessed
somebody's
backyard
a deathtrap
imagine jumping on
that thing
jankety as hell
but still you
want
that thrill
of air bopping out of your mouth
as you enter the
nearby
stratosphere
backyard bliss
is the same thing
as
boredom
and then
you break your neck
so what?
life is about taking chances
and all that
goddamned litter
by the overpass
people just throw whatever
they want out
their car windows
trying to erase
what they want
the
embarrassment of
what they want
trying to
tell a little story
about that night they
went to wendy's
drivethru
drunk as fuck
crying
about the end of
the world
somebody
some genius
wrote
DUFUS
in red paint
on the overpass
embankment
pure red drippy
letters
and me
thinking
about how
lucky i am
