Spaghetti Finishing

Dear Spaghetti Not-Finisher,

I wish you would have been more of a Spaghetti Finisher last night and less of a Spaghetti Not-Finisher, so there would have been less Not-Finished Spaghetti today. Then I would have eaten less of this Not-Finished Spaghetti at lunch today and consequently felt considerably less full and tired. Don't get discouraged though, Spaghetti Finishing is something we've all aspired to since our childhoods, when promises of Ice Cream and The Muppets Show held more weight as a motivator for us to see the Spaghetti Finishing thru to the end...

Thank you,

Jay

Untitled Number 3

My Angel in the Devil’s hand
Sitting quietly for the world to end
A story for all time… that I left behind
It just will not stop
Calling and calling when I’m almost asleep
In a moment I can’t seem to keep
Cross your arms before they steal your heart
Across time I’ll reach for our new start
But I’ve faded in your eyes
Like the Summer’s color dies
Your words no longer make sense
Of some untold violence
So speed things up like my demons always do
Speed things up while I swerve into you
