Apology of Action

Seven years of living under ground
A safe comfort like a mother’s womb
A darkness impenetrable to pain

Seven years of blind ambition
Searching for an emergency exit
Desperate to feel the rain

Seven years of loneliness
Smothering in a stale mold
A unfathomable dank chill

Seven years of gritting teeth
Clawing

I’ve been broken hurt beaten and abused
This chaotic life has got me so confused
I’m trying to turn my life around
Can’t seem to plant both feet on the ground
I take one step forward and two steps back
Keep losing my focus and falling off track
I’ve

is this how it is?
watching the girl on the
magazine watching you.
the heat and despair of
loneliness pushing out in
violent need for release and
love only to see the unreal girl
finally spitting in her face in a
moment of pulsing pleasure
sticky residue blotting out
the face of this

ok ok
so the bourbon is only as good as it stays down.
for all the reasons of sedintary waste nothing so much as
hints at how desperate a troubled thought will stray.

even as old friends and family meet in one harmonious
conversation pound for pound logic and hope deserts

Every so often I find that my slippery little mind
wants to lay hold of a new thrill or one of a different kind.

It's like a touch of scurvy; my mind-spine gets crooked and curvy.
Or is that scoliosis that makes me get so nervy?

And then... my lemon tree!  How she stands magnificently

Fake ass people got nothin’ better to do but waste my time
Waste my time with your fake ass words and your fake ass mind
Always running your mouth talkin’ a bunch of fake ass shit
Haven't you got any class or wit
You look at me and grin with that fake ass smile

Even though I could feel it even though I knew
I still didn’t want to believe it was really true
Nobody ever gave me an option or choice
Can you here me do you hear my voice
Obviously he wasn’t in his right mind and didn’t use a thought
He was

Go on!  Get out!  I don’t want you anymore.
You want the sofas?  Take ‘em bitch.  I’ll buy more.
But you never had the best of me.

Get gone and find some other place to stay.
Oh you want the house?  Take it bitch.  I’ll walk away.
But you never had the best of me.

post-mortem depression coming on again
like a fly splattered against the windshield/
no surprise/ a moment of stasis/ unending nothingness/
and then truth/ bewildered i find myself in some
dive bar/ a gay guy buys me drinks and i don't refuse/
his yapping subsides to the bad radio music bleedng
out the bottom of the

20 below outside and 10 above
inside with not much happening
and not much to happen.
  no beer. no liquor. no wine.
my last pack of cigarettes have
already left its black mark on my
lungs. a few pennies but not a dime
or nickle to my name.
