fuck hollywood
and the forced
happy endings
where the plucky
idiot gets the
girl and they
ride off happily
into the sunset

where’s the truth?
sitting alone
angrily rooting on
the predictable plot
knowing happy endings
are fifty bucks
at the massage parlor

a real ending is
not understanding
what you did
yet assuming the blame
higherandhigher
to mask sinking
downdowndown
