Stolen lanterns,
silver flask flashes in the rain.
This poetry comes with a parental warning:
it doesn’t have to be this awkward.
You were drunk when you put her dreams in your back pocket,
Discard half my words and plagiarize the rest
--turns out beggars can be choosers.
Sleeping on a bus in the middle of the night pays time and a half.
She’s writing twenty-one letters
for twenty-one people
on the twenty-first day of the month
If you don’t understand a word you just read I’m not surprised.
This is a true story that went through the wash in my jeans.
When you die this will be worth something.
Author notes
Most people probably won't "get" this but you have to just give up on it and let the images and words wash over you before you decide you don't like it

I'm actually working it into a song. It's not really meant for you to get what it's "about". It all references specific events/moments throughout one night but I like for the images to just hit you because at some point you stop trying to understand everything. I could explain it all to you but I think that takes away from it.
