I guess you realized how worthless I am
I myself am just beginning to discover it…
Nothing is being named after me
A planet would be nice…or a star system
But I don’t want to be anyone’s sunshine
Maybe a black hole…I just saw a picture of one
& oddly you weren’t in it…
I don’t care what you’re wearing right now
as you don’t think of me at all…I’ve already disappeared
like a dead girl in a police procedural
but you’re not the detective…& I’m not dead…
Darling, there are plenty of nameless alleys
& I intend to walk down one late at night
howling at the trash bins until a light blinks on
& someone sets out a nice dish of gin…
