Come all ye for creative writing, drunken porch monkey talk, sobriety talk, music, odd and weird historical shit. What have you. From high brow to low brow
Guards couldn't find in his nasal cavity A whole gram of meth Still a hardworking honest man Looks way older than 51 Joey P compares him to The old man with a shovel In Home Alone Doesn't know how he caught A stray bullet - 22 ain't nothing to pull When his own brother shot him once A barn mouse will wait on his foot For crumbs of crank Falling asleep recovering From a motorcycle accident Pomeranian licked infection to the bone PTSD from wife's suicide Cleaned up the blood Before the kids could smell iron Good to see him falling in love again Even with Jess Who looks like Rachel Druze from SNL As strange as it is
Kill Bill whistling Spreads through the hallways Like Azazel in Fallen Wake up in a sweat From codependent dreams Rehab Michelin chefs Accommodate soft palettes For those coming down from meth
Lost one family and found another Though cells get replaced each day Like the ship of Theseus Last night with the other old school punks Avoid Black Friday robberies Of catalytic converters boys
A matter of time Before it's Lord of the Flies And pop culture references Falling on deaf ears
I was happy being alone Why'd you show up in her same clothes With a flock don't mean to flirt When I don't tries the time it works And when I catch that granted wish I just want out Toss back like fish
Never missed Oxycontin But I may be missing Oxytocin
White knuckling Frozen in bed Like the deer and I's staring contest Last I drank in the woods Wires like vines grow over me Smell of onion or vinegar In the parts neglected Even a Marine bath Teeth fuzzy like moss Entropy - waiting for nature to reclaim me In the mysteries of her immortal processes
Days spent longing for darkness If this mattress could sail To the eternal comfort of Alaska
Waves of memories Some chaos some calm Flood my senses Piecing together What feels like parallel lives As the years catch up to me
Guess I always felt old Or wanted to be Still some youthful look Besides a few stray greys
The last of us born Before this Sci Fi world I couldn't wait for - Now it scares the hell out of me And what it holds for those who will inherit The things and things to come We take for granted each day
Why should jealousy, wrath and envy In this state hold me When I know I've already held myself back
I've snowballed into this situation Now to find a place to melt As I've said before I'll climb out of this mess As I always do
Smedley Ex Machina You may become my only offspring
I'm grateful for this chair I'm grateful for this pen Ideas seem to disappear But they exist they'll come again
I'm grateful getting older Though I don't feel quite grown up yet I'm grateful still relatable In progression d'effet
I'm grateful for all the drugs I used Lucky didn't get hooked on dope I'm grateful never liked needles But sure there's damage to my nose
I'm grateful I don't gamble much My addictive personality I'm grateful poker's just for fun With bills from Monopoly
I'm grateful unemployment's flagged I'm grateful rehab has few needs Miss my well paying position But if I had cash I'd prolly flee
I'm grateful I'm not stuck in jail And my family sends me smokes I'm grateful to be leaving soon But a halfway house ain't home
I'm grateful blood work's normal And I can't see my liver's size I'm grateful don't have cravings It's been forty days tonight
I'm grateful for lovers and dry spells Though I'm not sure I've been in love I'm grateful for a break from news Still point out programming's propaganda
I'm grateful for the friends I made I'm grateful I'm not dead May not always stay sober But it'd be great to come again
Can't even escape surveillance Marooned among the all seeing eyes Of the trailer park Staying with an indolent acquaintance Who's been looking for a roommate
We finish laying stone Around the deck perimeter Guess I can't stash beer there From his neurotic stepmother A few rows down
Lennie doesn't drink But he yells at her like he does And he smokes more than me Since his guinea pig died
Lennie doesn't ask for much Unlike her in this temporary situation Since I had to leave my old porch - Not from eviction But an unseen lease renewal Seems it happened to another tenant In their non-negotiable contract
Shekel goblins More people grow claws each day Whether as crabs in a bucket Or birds to 'lift you up'
But Lennie doesn't pry He's going night fishing Where he drowns autistic rage
Hop on the Ebike Brakes need tightening Another long day I want it Ride with rush hour traffic Into the sunset with shades Another long day I deserve it Some truck from the quarry Spilled riprap on the road Another long day But I don't need it
