Sober Month
at our table,
indifferent
as the abalone
met their end
on our centerpiece fire;
Jay called for
a blue crystal bottle
of Soju:
We toasted
our fortune
and our luck;
Jay,
and A,
cheering for
their children;
Me?
Well,
beating cancer,
I guess…
if it didn’t feel
so damn cheap,
and
throwing back shots,
practically
begging for
a second round.

She might fall asleep on

Catholic boy
Mass, communion,
the rosary, the Virgin
Mary on Sundays
but your love of all
those holy sacraments
and saints changed when
you found dope could
fuck you better than any
high school cheerleader
and your words curled up from
the page like smoke from
a junkies cigarette
from sports to addict
to prose to poetry to
rock star
I watched a YouTube
of you reciting your
poems at St....
Insomnia
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...

Ale for the Ail
as I savor this moment
with big gulps of treasure.
Pretty soon, my mind is buh-bye,
drowning the torment.
Looking forward to the pleasure.
Tilting the bottle
to get those drops of goodness
that I need in my life.
Emotions at full throttle,
I must confess
I am riddled with strife.
Looking for satisfaction
in this cylindrical phenomenon
where my worries are diminished.
I enjoy the distraction.
Yes, I am gone.
I need another; I am not finished.

Fantasizing to be free both mentally & physically.
Will I seek help anytime soon?
Will I ever be high enough to reach the moon?
I lost my self control, I have no sense of hope.
The day will come, I’ll fatality drop from dope.
Unstable by the teardrop.
Countless narcotics, it’s a one stop shop.
Penny for your thoughts?
I’m drunk and nauseous, stomach knots.
Why am I breaking speed limits?
Will the drugs ever be off-limits?
I’m running on adrenaline!
In the dark,...
Habitual Dependence
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
#addiction #support
They Call Me
Societal missfit
Dirty hippie cunt
Stinking of ganja
Hypocrit
Posting fingers
Lithium gaze
Smoking dangerous cannabis ?
This morbidly obese beast
Medicine cabinet fully stocked
Uppers downers
Antipsychotics
Now answer this
Whos the bigger druggo?
share a cigarette and win a friend
a leading newspaper, I read an article written by a pompous
and opinionated person, a story about cigarettes he didn't
understand since, in his goodness, he has never smoked fags or
danced barefoot in a winter park or been in love at dawn
when I was young, cigarettes were the thing a social life without
a group having a laugh and smoking was unheard of
there were still tobacco shops selling cigarettes individually
buy one if the money is tight and smoke the sigs in the shop
The shop I knew had two ladies...
