Really Annoying Shit (Cheap Metal Choker)

the 'ding' of the gas light with $5.00 

in my bank account. 

waking up 5 minutes before

my alarm. 

my beer foaming over the bottle lip

after the first sip. 

plucking my eyebrows. 

every pot-hole ridden road

lined with orange construction barrels,

the entire state of Michigan. 

the thought that everyone thinks is deep

but is really just a bad rendition 

of an old cliche. 

the cheap metal choker 

I wore last night that left 

a green mark on my neck. 

You, crawling into my bed

because "it's the most comfortable place"

being told it's the most comfortable place 

by more than one person. 

my sock half sliding off 

down in my shoe

when I can't fix it. 

Your name appearing on my caller ID,

being told you miss me,

being told you hate me,

being told I'm the most comfortable place

in the house.
