"thank you for being so translucent."

i want a new truck. that sounds as mean as an old one.
i want a new life. that tastes as good as the current one.
i want a new hair color. that matches my real one.
i want a new tattoo. that means as much as the rest of them.
i want an old friend. that feels like the old ones.
i want an old bike. that rides like my schwinn.
i want an old father. that acts like the old one.
i want an old love. that doesn't remind me of anyone.


"you're welcome, it's nice not being so opaque."
