stars and tom petty

eighteen months and i have to do

homework to move forward.

i have to remember that play

to want to continue to move forward.

nighttime hours and grimy teeth

and a tummy ache and not being

focused and saying things like 'i wish.'

greasy hair in my face and your face

and my friends are all real great they're

all moving away. northern oregon and

colorado and new york city and some

are coming back from islands like

the united kingdom and catalina

gonna tell me about their trip.

she is in kathmandu with raindrops

and mats and babies that won't ever

eat, too skinny and pictures of stars

and studying the stars and its funny

i always think of her when i look at the

stars or hear tom petty on the radio.
