Half a heartThere is a little boy,
On television that only has half a heart
He says,
“ I wish I had a whole heart,
like my mum and dad.”
He says it with a beautiful smile
That could warm the world
He has a hot mother.
I remember that.
a hot cunt of a mother.
I open a beer after his scene
And run a bath
The radio plays swing.
I dance with my girl
She is wearing her pajamas
im naked.
We dance quietly.
With bare feet.
Together
On the floor boards of my home.
With the television still
Playing
In the other room
she leaves me alone
With the swing
And the radio
And an a world of guilt
And the wish
That i only had half a heart,
Too.




"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
