  You could have a big dipper   

a poem by Shawn Berman

HELL YEAH I CRY DURING MOVIES WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM SOME KINDA PSYCHOPATH WHO CAN’T EXHIBIT ANY SORTA EMOTION THINK AGAIN BUCK-O

 


most recently this happened when i stumbled upon

happy gilmore

on comedy central

and the sandman drained a 30 foot putt to win his dearest grandmother’s house back

stopping that evil shithead shooter mcgavin from donning the infamous green jacket.

i don’t know if i had too much to drink that night

or

if i accidentally ate too much chicken fajitas from chili’s

but i just could not keep it together for the life of me

during that scene

and the tears

quickly filled my entire apartment

in a matter of seconds.

thinking back

i haven’t been that sad since the day

you decided

i wasn’t the partner you wanted to build a future with

all because i’m not textbook manly enough

and accidentally change light bulbs while the lights are still on.

dang, that one stung to hear.
