This is poetry and other bullshit by: Matthew Roskowski Photobucket

twenty-three

in high school i used to
brush my hair to the left but now i
brush it to the right-i didn’t know
what i was doing back then-
i used to smoke enough pot to
make me not want to do 
anything else, and then stop-
if life at the age of twenty-three
is just foreshadowing for life at the
age of twenty-four, then i can’t wait to
celebrate in 357 days-
someone will get me a cake,
someone will get me socks,
someone will get me a card,
someone will get me pajamas,
someone will get me a cd,
someone will get me another cd,
and so on and so forth,
the anticipation is killing me,
so much that i almost just now forgot to
breathe-imagine that! me at twenty-three,
just learning again how to breathe.
