about "ramsey ran away"

yo. i'll tell you all about myself at a later time. for now, i want to talk about ramsey. whilst i was in military jail (i told you, i'll tell you all about me later!) there was this tiny little bug. i think it was a baby moth or sumthin of the sort. anyway, the tiny little bug proved to be a rather large nuisance to all my fellow inmates in our corridor. well, not really a LARGE nuisance...his biggest downfall was biting everybody while they slept. i still say,they couldn't prove it was that particular bug but hey, what do i know? he eventually made his way over to my area where i had a little locker covered in pics and shelves with deodorant and soap and shit like that. but get this! he never left once he came to my area. i mean like NEVER!! after about 4 or 5 days of him being there i started to like him. i wouldn't let any of the guys kill him and i dubbed him Ramsey. Ramsey turned into my buddy. after mandatory exercise i'd come back and there was Ramsey, chillin atop my lotion. or we'd go eat and come back to find Ramsey on my pillowcase. Ramsey was cool and everybody eventually came to think of him as my pet. then one day, about 2 weeks after he came to me, i went to work at the post office on the base and he was gone when i came back. Ramsey was GONE!! call me crazy, call me juvenile, but i really fell into a funk over him being gone. i'm already a moody person of sorts, then throw in the fact that i was in jail at the time, and now Ramsey is gone too?? not good. i became very depressed that my Ramsey was gone. i even wrote a poem about it, it's called "Ramsey ran away". in the poem "Ramsey" is not my Ramsey. in the poem my mind, my sanity, is represented by Ramsey. it was like the day my Ramsey ran away, so did my mind. it was a very short-lived and over-exaggerated depression....don't worry, i'm no looney! or am i? i present to you, fine readers, my work....Ramsey ran away


ramsey ran away

i dropped my toothbrush today
and ramsey ran away
whimsical as he is, he was gone
as ominous as it was i never suspected he would really leave,
i danced around the thought with trepidation
now, with him gone, i falter easily
i hardly remember what life was like with him here
(if he was ever really here at all)

there was too much traffic on the freeway today
and ramsey ran away
he does it all the time, i think it's a test
he wants to see how long i can last without him
goddamned ramsey. fuck, i miss him
now, with him gone, i falter easily
i'm still trying to figure out if he was ever really here

i stepped in shit today
and ramsey ran away
now, with him gone, i falter easily
fuck it, i could never claim him as my own anyway
