It's Good To Be Alone

Aside // The Weakerthans

I’m unconsoled,
I’m lonely,
I am so much better than I used to be.
Terrified of telephones
and shopping malls and knives.
Drowning in the pools of other lives.
Rely a bit too heavily
on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy.
In love with love and lousy poetry.
