You’re drunk and alone
in your room
and it all goes away
when there is nothing to question
...
In A Factory
There are Endless Inches of Dust and Grime
Some-Scrape this Dust and Grime to get by...
Supporting Mouths with Measly Money,
...
If I Stopped Drinking
The Subways Would Shutdown
The Flights Would Be Canceled
The Autos Would Run Out of Fuel
...
he has been knocking for some time
he is cold and starving
he is in love, mad with anger
riddled with guilt
...
Squatting in a putrid room
No light or love to receive
No needs or wants are coming soon
Nothing to believe
...
Broken Glass
You’re drunk and alone
in your room
and it all goes away
when there is nothing to question
nothing to beg
when everything seems useless
fragile and frail
like the soul
it's just an idea
most need
to Not get
bats in the bell free
However; in this state
and environment
everything seems perfect
nothing bothers you
annoying like the light
the morning after
or thoughts of dread
like notions of
no soul
Distraction is perfection
ignorance is bliss
and is, the ultimate sickness
Let go of what you do and do not believe
such thoughts are for the shallow end
of Edinboro Lake
Live in what you know
Like when you're drunk and alone.
