tiptoe
silentbob
tiptoeing
through
the
used
condoms
strewn
on
the
piers
off
the
west
side
highway
.
sunset
behind
the
skyline
of
jersey
.
walking
towards
the
water
with
a
fetus
holding
court
in
my
gut
.
my
body
high
-jacked,
my
tits
swollen
,
i'm
sore
.
the
river
has
more
colors
at
sunset
than
my
sock
drawer
ever
dreamed
of
.
i
could
wake
up
screaming
sometimes
,
but
i
don't
.
i
could
step
off
the
end
of
this
pier,
but
i've
got
shit
to
do
and
i've
an
appointment
on
tuesday
to
shed
uninvited
blood
and
tissue
.
i'll
miss
you
,
i
say
to
the
river
,
to
the
water
,
to
the
son
or
daughter
i
thought
better
of
.
i
could
fall
in
love
with
jersey
at
sunset
,
but
i
leave
the
view
to
the
rats
and
tiptoe
back
.
