For everything else!
by Johnny CrimsonCover my face
and twist away
The straight smiley boys
are now
calling it quits
I reached
in my pocket
all drenched in worms
Walking backwards
toward a bed
And without warning
I reached a door
Behind my back
I hear whispers
and the unraveling
of garments
The flicker of tongues
and the jamming
of fingers
Her friend had just taught me
3 new chords
Trying to flirt
I guess
I'm bad at that
They both shrugged
and I said
goodbye
New strings: 5 bucks
Bus to her house: $1.38
Realizing the girl that
you've wanted for 10 years is gay
