i have an electric keyboard that plays itself when it is bored. [02/05/984]

somewhere along the road, i’m sure you simply got the wrong idea. 

somebody just sent me a solid sheet of anti-matter in the post,

told me it was selling for real cheap at his neighbor’s garage sale

and who am i to turn down something 

that i fully believe in?

years ago, that very same somebody

looked at me with tears in their overshot caffeinated eyes

and said

“all i know is that i can no longer count on you

  because the ways in which you have failed me

  are innumerable.”

– and he’s a late-stage calculus teacher. most of his numbers aren’t even real! –

my tires were shot, there was black ice invisible yet everywhere, and i turned the wrong corner.

i had simply gotten the wrong idea.
