Pack of Newports from Terry Richardson's Diary
The mall isn’t a place for introspective thinkers,
so we sit at home watching reruns of bad TV shows,
and pretend like our problems don’t exist,
I want to shed my skin like a cicada,
Get away from the Newports, cheap pizza, train rides to work, and unsatisfactory sex that leads to festering
emotional issues that neither one of us has the courage to bring up and resolve since it would be awkward and
so we vent by blowing up over what should be basic anger due to stupid shit like not taking out the garbage, or
forgetting to wash the dishes, or running over the dog with your mom’s Honda.
I think I might have my texting shut off so you don’t bother me while I’m serving coffee to ungrateful strangers,
and I think I might also quit my job, get In a taxi, and go to the airport to leave for Portugal,
I don’t think you’d find me there.
