I'll just leave this here on this guy's porch, for no apparent reason.

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

"Oxytocin"     (SmedleysPorch)

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 resent my overstaying
I resent where I must go
The cryptic advice in passing
But it beats not having a home

I resent this jawn ain't the museum
You're allowed to touch and feel
I resent our embalmed sense of time
Are we mannequins or real

I resent how the speaker gets pussy
Once was simple made complex
I resent crimes he's acquitted
Still he's lucky, but I'm blessed

I resent protected classes
Playing victim while all kneel
I resent those once admired
Till true colors they reveal

I resent the slander of the dead
I resent the facts I must correct
Maybe that's my same destiny
Just hope someone will defend

I resent the string of circumstance
That led to the bottom of this rock
I resent this path if it's predestined
But thank God the detours soft

I resent those well intentions
To control and whip me into shape
I resent addiction to defiance
While I surrender my fate

I resent the double standards
Color guards of behavior
I resent weight and face changing
Yet other judgements prove my worth

I resent my isolation
I resent i cannot be alone
Like when I'm the life of the party
Hate it's over they went home

"Try Sober" (gratitude)     (SmedleysPorch)

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

Playing freeze tag in graveyards with imaginary friends

Cast out, pop these Skittles, work it out on my own
Know you care, know you miss me, shame won't answer the phone

Not rock bottom till
You smell lavas sulphur - then
Upside down heaven

In this sliver of tree line smoke refracts distant light
My only beauty beheld now, can't be surpassed by AI

Last good thing in my downfall has come to an end

Day drinking on a day off
Took a nap among the trees
I didn't think I'd wake up
To the start of World War III

It began like a Bond film
Paragliders and cheap shelling
As if our 'greatest allie' didn't know
It'd be their Casus Belli

No one on chat or forums this late
Enjoy the crickets while I can
Before nuclear winter
With calls to bomb Iran

Our endless empty pockets
Fund never ending shit shows
Once a narrative collapses
Like Hydra others grow

I watch my nephew's football game
More than meets the eye with sports
It's ancient tribal training
To prepare the men for war

Young man don't let them groom you
To false pretense loyalties
I'll tell you when you're older
When we wake up to World War III

"Lennie's Porch"     (SmedleysPorch)
submitted by Smedleys_Butler to SmedleysPorch 7 months ago (+1/-0)

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
