matthew in the mornings by desaparecidita

So many poems are precocious or assuming. Not this one!Reading "Matthew in the Mornings" by *desaparecidita lets you see into the soul and through the eyes of the neo-renassaince man. He's an incredible poet who can show you peace in words.

i asked if she had heard--

baseball bat to the
car window; fist
through the wall;
pages of
teenage angst, scrawled
clumsily on wrists--
slaughterhouse fridays
mopped up with
tschaikovsky saturdays--

and the lithium pills
everyday in the mornings now.

she said that she hadn’t--

so i told her it was nothing.
tschaikovsky saturdays
--
comments please


[edit]
1. where the fuck did all these people come from? god bless you all.
2. i'm sorry if you don't like the second line. it stays. if i were to read it aloud, there'd be a subtle pause right there. sorry everyone. it stays.
3. "teenage angst" was not put in because i could not think of a more poetic way to say it. it was put in to be cliche, it was put in to say that that's what matthew is. cliche. that his pain and suffering are not sepcial.
4. i like dashes. they also stay.
5. my apologies if you don't enjoy it, or if it "does not do anything for you". that's the way things go. thanks for reading it anyway. if you really dont understand and want to, note me, or something. yes, the poem means something.
6. mwah!
