A Couple of Ways of Looking at It

What went wrong No glasses Underdressed No croissant No books Goddamit send me their number But the pier The bodies It’s good I hate myself soft talking And then you know because I’m not a techie But I’m following I’m so on edge and so look St. Margaret breaks her silence At some point it becomes abandonment Crushed dried cured Money in public looks funny Shopping colorful vegetables and fruits Squash and peppers Heh You’re so funny Stripes and solids When are you due Shapes and forms I’m going home and then I’m going home for the weekend and then I’m going home tomorrow and then I’m going home. People wanting to look good Carlos dial 109 Carlos 109 please Donut holes for all of us I knownjajajaha 

What went wrong
No glasses
Underdressed
No croissant
No books
Goddamit send me their number

But the pier
The bodies
It’s good
I hate myself soft talking

And then you know because I’m not a techie
But I’m following
I’m so on edge and so look

St. Margaret breaks her silence
At some point it becomes abandonment

Crushed dried cured 
Money in public looks funny

Shopping colorful vegetables and fruits
Squash and peppers

Heh
You’re so funny
Stripes and solids
When are you due
Shapes and forms

People wanting to look good
Carlos dial 109 Carlos 109 please
I’m going home and then 
I’m going home for the weekend and then 
I’m going home tomorrow and then 
I’m going home.
Donut holes for all of us

  1. Run-on sentence makes some crazy reading. The other way looks normal. Either way it don't read normal. The opening "What went wrong" I follow. The end "I'm going home..." I'm there. I can dig it. I don't get it.
