story of a man who can't forget a girl.


Too Much On His Mind

That girl was still
too much on his mind.
He walked outside and kicked the fence.
He went back into the house, punched
the couch multiple times.
He went to the refrigerator,took
some eggs out
and smashed them on the floor.
The clock ticking upset him.
he pulled it off the wall, run
some water in the bathtub and
drowned it!
His clothes smelled of her perfume.
He took them off, took them outside,
doused them with gasoline and burned
them completely!
That girl was still too much on his mind.
He went back inside, drank a fifth
of vodka and fell asleep.

Very stark; almost journalistic in its presentation. Well written, the style supports the subject matter very well.
