Baltimore 2013 from Cratered by Palliate

let me set the scene. 7pm
i can't keep my eyes open
10 cartons. i'm on the deck, 3 packs in
toronto's finest keeping my stomach's contents in

i slept the week away in a claustrophobic room
baltimore came quick and the sad songs sooner
the slow ones took no growing into
but i'd quickly grow out of this skin

it's unnerving when we went
on key west at the very end
of route 1. alprazolam
and more drinks than i could stand
that cheap jacket still fits but
i don't think i do
into your life because i'm still getting used to
nicotine infused and oxymorphone confused
living dreams

i slept the week away in a claustrophobic room
the atlantic came quick but i couldn't leave sooner
the ocean took no getting used to
neither did the cratered skin

the creek at home would be so fucking proud to see
where the saltwater dried out self esteem
when i walked out of Transit on new year's eve
i knew atlantis had taken the best of me
