I find myself at the end of the night crying over a slightly warped record on the turntable
Fading in and out of tune
Resolving flat and
Making the song sound sadder than it's meant to be

Now I feel like an adult
It only took me 21 years
And several Kentucky ale beers

Alone at a bar

I always wondered why I could never find any body like you

Then I realized I didn't want to

what is my place

this season is different
dim lights, warm weather
lost jobs, lost sights
caught in the current

of cold spring nights
spent thinking on the eve
of bitter winter memories
that cannot be forgot
i wroteyou
so many drunken letters 
that i never sent
once i push the thoughts ofyou
out of my head, they are gone 
forgood

i keep the letters in case 
i must remember

but trust meyou're not special
all responsibility
is gone >>>
push out to make room 
for the trivial 
exponentially less 
important thoughts

done is school
done is bills
done is me
done isyou

I thought the snow would be here sooner.
I stayed up til dawn to watch it fall.

What is my fascination with precipitation?
I wish I didn't care for it at all.

Under the influence and over the crowd,
I'll go outside and have a ball.

Dancing around in the sky that's falling,
Ignoring each and every person's call:

"Kate, get inside before you freeze!"
"Kate, come warm up inside the great hall."

They'll coax me inside to a big warm bed where I'll lay
Sprawled across it like a little rag doll.

There I'll drift until sleep settles me to the ground
where I'll rest as silently as snowflakes on a wall.

Found Poetry in My Twitter Drafts

1. 
I wish I was a smoker so I'd have a reason to be standing in the rain right now.

2.
The empty seat beside me beckons your buttocks in the bright street lamps that I bellow to at night.

3.
Poetry via twitter
Saved as drafts
Waiting longingly 
to describe the night
I just had with you by my side.
