(coffee) pot dealer ~ a senryú
bold enticement
darkness courses through my veins
to ensure that rush

I was trying to give up alcohol knowing full well that was bullshit
It wasn't the alcohol that was the problem
It was when and how much
I think I figured it out
Widow Jane took me back in her loving arms ....

Excuses
So you are not who
You thought you would be.
Unfortunate that life threw you
A curve
A banana peel
on which you swerved
Never control regained
Choosing to live in a
World of drugs, booze
And pain.
You thought you would be.
Unfortunate that life threw you
A curve
A banana peel
on which you swerved
Never control regained
Choosing to live in a
World of drugs, booze
And pain.

I Want Some L.S.D
I want some L.S.D man, it's the drug for me!
I don't even know what it stands for,
Definitely not pounds, shillings and pence though.
I wanna become part of the furniture;
At one with the World,
And not just the wallpaper!
Yeah man, watching myself float,
Sitting on top of a golf ball,
Bobbing up and down along the river,
Catching fireflies in a big cheesy bubble -
Like a bear with huge furry head.
Well... that's been said before!
And sliding inside a banana,
Do I really need this trip -
Slipping,...

Bobbing up and down along the river,
Catching fireflies in a big cheesy bubble -
Like a bear with huge furry head.

Brother's Keeper
Youngest of three brothers
I'm stuck being his
Oldest Brother Keeper
Makes you feel like shit
Because your oldest brother
Likes the creature called
Hard Liquor which causes
Him to do crazy things like
engaging in sexual congress
With an 18 year old girl
Which is very creepy
Because she has Daddy Issues
I'm stuck being his
Oldest Brother Keeper
Makes you feel like shit
Because your oldest brother
Likes the creature called
Hard Liquor which causes
Him to do crazy things like
engaging in sexual congress
With an 18 year old girl
Which is very creepy
Because she has Daddy Issues

The Urn
I remember making that call,
When I finally found you again,
I can still recall hearing your voice,
You broke down –
With a hallelujah and an amen.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw you,
You had turned into an old man,
But I was happy that we found you,
As you hobbled –
I didn’t really comprehend.
I had imagined you somewhat different,
As you had been thirteen years before,
But the things which happened to you,
Took away so much –
All that you loved and more.
The good word had always...

me and my two brains
despite being clean
and sober for fourty
or so years, occasionally
my old brain visits me
from out of nowhere
and whispers to my
soul,
" Come on-get high
one more time! It will
make everything okay!
No one will ever know."
but my new brain says,
"what the FUCK are you
thinking! You'll know!
why don't you stay sober
one more day and every-
thing will be great!"
glad I listen to that
new brain.
love y'all
and sober for fourty
or so years, occasionally
my old brain visits me
from out of nowhere
and whispers to my
soul,
" Come on-get high
one more time! It will
make everything okay!
No one will ever know."
but my new brain says,
"what the FUCK are you

why don't you stay sober

thing will be great!"
glad I listen to that
new brain.
love y'all

NO HARM DONE
Follow me
I’ll bring you to my pusher
with a pssssst down an alley way
he doesn’t call to me
I walk brazenly into his store
where I also happen to purchase
a fuel fix for my car
My mouth waters
greeted with panoply of possibilities
to sate my vice
do I crave chips or cheese puffs
perhaps a candy bar or two or three
life wouldn’t be in balance
without a package of cookies
oh and I can’t forget my protein
beef jerky presented in all varieties
mmmmm I’m...

A great nite
We got home before the kids
because you have to work tomorrow
(so do I)
and I try to remember to look
unimpressed with them
She clocked me in the jaw
with her cell phone
by mistake
and we laughed
I didn't even feel it
Trying so hard
to move deliberately
without stumbling
So you don't feel
like I'm just another
unruly kid
you have to babysit
I am high on friendship
and wine
And I'm sorry
if that makes your life hard
But I am alive again
and I needed this ...
because you have to work tomorrow
(so do I)
and I try to remember to look
unimpressed with them
She clocked me in the jaw
with her cell phone
by mistake
and we laughed
I didn't even feel it
Trying so hard
to move deliberately
without stumbling
So you don't feel
like I'm just another
unruly kid
you have to babysit
I am high on friendship
and wine
And I'm sorry
if that makes your life hard
But I am alive again
and I needed this ...

[ Stephen King inspired ] Ignition Keys
Exploit
God given talents for
fortune and fame
fanning the flame
as fanned based
brand name
recognition grows
out of control
into something
you can't tame
---not without
more substances
highly flammable:
drugs
alcohol
taking their toll
when all you really wanted
was to live life your way
not theirs
Who cares? Who cares?
No one seems to
as you use, use, use
and the exploitation continues...
