I blame spray-paint on brick walls
and overflowing garbage cans
I blame the selfish words in books
and snow falling on my window
then I blame friends I stole from
and lovers I scorned
I blame the icons on my desktop
and the empty can of beer
the stars on Orion's belt
and his running from At las t
before I blame the light
streaming through the trees
and the dog howling at the moon when
I blame whoever finds me out
