Blanket

I want to write something beautiful

But I'm feeling very copper

Like scratches on a record

Like finger nails two inches too long

Like an oddly placed stop sign

Like a phone message that

    I'm not sure you'll get before -

Like pollen on a dashboard

Like important things in Morse Code

    when no one reads Morse Code

    anymore

Like ketchup on a blouse



I'm so tired that I can't sleep,

so I lay on a futon

and watch 13 Going on 30

just because it was on

which doesn't really help

but the blanket is soft -

   and that is something beautiful.

Just for the record, I'd like to say that 13 going on 30 is the best movie ever...lol jk. I like how the ending corresponded with the beginning. Nice job,
