my blackberry got me used to life with no periods

my brother said,

"write it all down. there should be nothing that embarrasses you."

i agree

then turn red.

and away

from places we might never drive to together

alone i go so fast

past places i used to recognize

then forgot

with a soundtrack of sadness

and a bag of tears

unopened

on the passenger seat.

"write it all down"

i agreed.

it embarrasses me.
