every so often, i feel like a supporting character in someone else's story
where's my spin-off, though?
i pop in, say my catchphrase, do my thing
uncle phil throws me out of the house
charles and mambo, the doctor from 30 rock
who am i kidding? the doctor? lutz
i'm not batman to someone's superman
i'm blue beetle
ted kord blue beetle
but before he died, and people started caring about him

i had a supporting character night tonight
nothing changed in the overall characer arc
good things, bad things, in the middle things
things i tried to help with, that didn't not go well, that didn't go anywhere
rory pond, dude

from now on, just jokes
stick to the funny
stop being a dick
stop thinking in ways that don't make people laugh
you're a supporting character

i'd better start working on my catchphrase:
"this is what it's come to"

half-remembered dream
about the end of the world
no one left
no things left
the last thing alive
well, not the last
me
and a can of some drink
and a six pack ring
i pulled the can off
and looked at the ring
and fuck that, i'm not cutting it up
what a rebel

did i ever tell you about my vagrant summer
when i delivered bread
and then lied about delivering bread
but didn't tell you
but i just rememberd

i would get up early
early in the morning, late in the night
and get on my bike
and bike
and hide near the church
put my back up, draw my knees tight
read books until the sun creeped
and made it impossible to sleep
it was the best game of hide and seek
because no one found me
or they just thought i was that thing

and i drank coffee
and enjoyed breakfast
and it was a break
and it was miserable

but i loved it
i would do it again

if i go to sleep in my clothes
it's because it makes a night's sleep seem more like just a nap
if i wear my shoes in the house
it's because it makes me feel like i'm out and getting things done
if i wear a button-up over what isn't really an undershirt, per se
it's because, well, let's not be coy
it's because tits 'n gut
if i wear sandals of any sort
then you know that it's not the real me
so don't stop hitting until they confess
and give me back my face
