how_soon_is_now
kerry
sitting
in
the
floor
in
front
of
the
TV
and
morrissey
is
swinging
his
hips
like
he
just
doesn't
know
what
else
he's
supposed
to
do
.
as
if
he
doesn't
understand
that
i'm
sad
tonight
and
have
to
listen
to
"
how
soon
is
now
?"
and
pretend
i'm
not
the
most
dejected
person
tonight
.
he
just
doesn't
want
to
address
me
.
fine
,
i
say
.
i'm
checking
computers
periodically plunging
my
tongue
into
the
ice
cream
and
it's
not
even
got
sugar
in
it
,
like
trying
to
bust
my
fist
through
the
window
only
to
find
it's
plexiglass.....
i
can't
break
it
.
this
is
the
worst
hour
.
and
it
was
right
as
i
stepped
in
the
door
my
ears
caught
the
wretching
sounds
from
the
basement
.
my
dying
dog
collapsing
in
her
own
vomit
and
she
won't
be
torn
away
from
it
so
finally
i
just
wrap
my
arms
beneath
and
around
her
and
drag
her
from
her
bed
,
carrying
her
up
the
stairs
and
slamming
the
basement
door
shut.
she
won't
be
sniffing
around
there
anytime
soon
.
it
was
you
who
forgot
and
i'm
sitting
in
borders
reading
your
favorite
poem
.
you
who
forgot
and
what
am
i
doing
but
staring
at
ferlinghetti
and
kerouac
that
are
perched
on
my
kitchen
counter smearing
their
index
fingers
in
the
leftover
beandip
i
couldnt bring
myself
to
lick
clean
.
i
watch
another
music
video
and
take
a
phone
call
and
find
myself
here
again
.
pouring
out
my
thoughts
to
the
infinite
red
because
i
have
no
one
else
that
wants
to
listen
to
me
bitch
anymore
.
