6th Street

Too many
Sad apartment buildings
Filled with
Sad
People
Sad
Furniture
Spreading
Sad shadows on
Sad
Wallpaper
Sad
Ashtrays
On sad
Tabletops
Filled
With
Sad shards
Of
Last night's
Sad
Smokes

Too many
Sad
Couples
Clasping
Sad
Fingers in
Sad
Beds
Sad
Threadbare sheets
Sad
Stages for
The
Sad
Pauses
Of
Sad
Kisses
Sad
Fingertips
Tracing
Sad
Pathways
Over the
Canvases
Of
Sad
Human
Continents

Too many
Sad landlords
Counting
Sad
Wadded
Bills
In sad
Backrooms
Sad
Waterpipes
Snaking up
Sad
Walls
Toward
Sad
Ceilings
Where
Sad
Lightbulbs
Dangle
Sad strings
That when pulled
Illuminate
Sad
Sad
Panoramas

Too many
Sad
Mirrors
Lofting
Sad
Reflections
Back to
Sad
Origins
Sad
Doorknobs
Leading to
Sad hallways
Leading to
Sad
Staircases
Sad
Front fences
Sad
Avenues
Sad
Streets
Sad
Cities
Sad
Countries
And
Pretty
Much
Damned
Sad
Everything
