You Are Just A Coat

You are just a coat.

      Sitting in some sweaty overcast,

      Calling out 911 through sad eyes
                                                     like it were a name you knew

You got your pockets in your hands

                Like a bucket of cool whip,
                            Sulking.    Drying out,    Hardened. Mess

               Eating the paint off your nails,
The taste of pure cancer

Somebody with "a lot of potential"     just        not         going anywhere
                       
                             like last years prom memories.

People keep looking at me like a bump on the road

        I am just a coat
                        Layered cake. and coated.

You parted the clouds and the sun shone     for just one second

On my legs.
On damp grass.

But disappointment,

         It sticks on you like a grass stain,
                               
                                  like a sore throat in the crevasses
