If every time you worry too much about a loved one dying,
it ends up happening,
does your brain have misguided magical powers?
Or did you just let bad shit in?
Cut my wrist at work yesterday.
Think I severed some tendons cuz my thumb don't work right,right now.
It's been difficult to play guitar or jerk off.
An accident but maybe not.
Divine intervention can suck a dick,
cuz good or bad
I just don't fucking like it.
Always thunderstorms in the afternoon in Baton Rouge,
and it scares the puppies and the big ol guys that are usually so fearless,
but I like to stand in it sometimes.
Recite suicidal tendency lyrics and curse the skies.
If the dogs gotta piss or not,
they still come out in the yard and run around with me in it.
It's a lack of desire to accept responsibility
that makes people want to believe in the possibility
of supernatural forces in nature,
but i'm pretty sure my hand is fucked up cuz I'm a drunk,
my mom is dying cuz my fam has that cancer gene
and my dogs just might love me.

I really dug the reality check here, your black-no-sugar style of philosophy and unique "go suck a dick" delivery, is black comedy that relentlessly speaks the truth.
You got me thinking about when I was skating in the 80s, saved up for a Powell Peralta Mike McGill board, had fuck all money left to buy any decent trucks and wheels, only had enough for new bearings. The first sticker I stuck on the deck was a suicidal tendencies sticker. Always remember flogging the Pepsi song, couldn't remember the title, had to google it... "Institutionalized".
Great poem, man, you got me thinking, always a good thing.

Sometimes I think storms feel like they wash us cleaner than anything else could.
