kevin from solo by Joseph Maxwell

kevin is not himself
waiting in line at the bmv
faded travel posters
of all the places he would rather be

drive thru window keepsakes
sorrow sweepstakes she is on his mind
double jacks and milkshakes
when his heart breaks he will be just fine

on an island far away

kevin is somewhere else
sitting alone at the hotel bar
drinking to untie the knots that bind
him to his ugly parts

early aughts october
he is older than he thought he'd be
two days clean and sober
starting over his recovery

at the park on saturday

kevin is in his head
sleeping it off in the icu
carnival incantations
jubiliations of another youth

she looks at him so sweetly
he'd be happy to be her best friend
someone else completely
but even then he feels the same again

he will never be okay
