This here is classic like plastic
Smells like 45s rollin’ out
Smoke filled grooves
Smells like raspberry splatter paint
Smells like raspberry incense
-my incense is higher than yours
smells like burnt fingernails
smells sticky like sex, singed or not
smells like seven people in a cramped bathroom
-dryer sheets and a box of rain
smells like resin and hair particles
(Not mine, of course)
smells like spring snow and second floor acrobatics
applause unnoticed on an ice covered balcony
smells like roaches in the carpet
lonely survivors of a smoky holocaust
smells like Ophelia in a knit hat
green and blue and pink and ---
smells like crushed white pills
smells like sticks and cones,
                   bricks and bones
smells like dinosaur sandwiches on wheat bread
-I agree with this tuna fish
smells like a broken reindeer
every light gone out
smells like a broken table
super glue or BUST!
Smells like an eclectic shit hole…
--why the hell is everything falling down?
Smells like old tape covered in lint
--Fuck double sides!
Smells like new board games
Smells like vanilla and wine Games
Smells like wind chimes slamming doors late at night
Smells like an empty room….
