skating your way by stanford cheung

6/9/2017

 
1    touch cigarette butts like how every star feels so real
      meaning; enter a room and let everyone know there
      are fortune cookies down the hall
 
2    look at your skin like it was once with shoulder blades
      tensing up to a hundred records of Cohen’s tapes
 
3    hang your clothes but be simple; the first day
      I wake up was just for a short time. If not longer
 
4    paper reads: I wish you a wonderful day (inserts emoji)
 
5    I want my day to amount to more;
 
6    your lucky numbers are 7, 9, 3, 1
 
7     Some cute things I want to do
            1. learn to blush in front of a mirror
            2. take selfies while sleepwalking
            3. try filming a new dream 
 
8    be found disappearing in the toenail of a comet;
       still on fire with no end
 
9    There are people with drapes behind the sky
