One Last Joint

It seems that twelve small boxes
were enough to contain what remained
of five year's hopes and dreams.
Piece by piece,
all my plans were dismantled
and packed away.
That day I fought to quell despair,
and found I still had a little fight left.
I vowed if I had to go i'd leave nothing behind,
I'd take every last bit I could find.
So I rolled up the carpets and even took out the lights,
and all I left him was a gutted, empty shell.
And afterwards I sat on the floor with the homeless dude
i'd hired to help me move for ten bucks a day,
ate cheap chinese food, and smoked one last joint.
I'm certain at some point we each pitied each other,
and then felt just a little bit better about our own life.
