Get Away From The door!

these    
magazines  
are expired.  
the guy    
who collected  
them is dead.  
he's been dead  
years now.  
   
i called him  
dad.  
   
and these  
newspaper  
articles  
he collected  
are obsolete.  
but at one    
time  
he    
considered  
them worth  
something.  
'cause they  
represent    
a time  
in history.  
   
i can    
get rid  
of them    
now though  
cause i  
don't want  
them.  
   
i need to  
throw them  
into the  
garbage  
where they  
belong.  
   
i don't like  
old things.  
i don't want to  
go back  
to the past  
because...  
i just don't  
fucking want to!
I want to sweep
away the past
like dust. 
   
i don't want  
to see    
the old    
school,  
especially  
pictures  
of the lunch  
room or
the hallways
or old teachers.  
i don't want    
to know  
about it,  
i don't want  
to know about  
death.  
   
i don't want  
to know  
people at all.
i don't    
want to    
see people
when i go out.  
i don't even  
want to see  
neighbors or
old cousins.
i don't need to
see people
walking through  
town.
 
i don't want  
friends.  
   
my    
screwed up  
mind;  
my screwed up  
dreams,  
don't know  
how to  
get  
rid of them,  
   
what they  
looked like.  
   
what    
i saw.
