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

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
