I seem to write in run-on sentences a lot. @A@ I need to practice using punctuation to my advantage.

Also, I AM GRADUATING TOMORROW. *shits bricks*



Round Thirty-Three



You pitted your bad breath against the humming
of the cold bus in the nighttime and won, somehow,

(and my skin always looked darker
underneath your halogen halo
that twirled sowly in the dead space
over your head)

the halitosis* went arm-in-arm with Trident
and what might have been stale cigarettes.



* an illness made-up
to comfort the smelly
and convince us that oral hygiene
is a whim of god.
