The 13th Step
Clara, it seems, has had her fill
Fed up with the needles he fails to discard
A broken glass pipe she once preferred
Her crystal of fucking choice
He comes home at the oddest hours
Bearing mended ways in stained packages
He cooks up his idea of fun discretely
His stay in the bathroom stretching into an hour
That loose smile proves offensive
Eyes unfocused on anything other than Hell
Never did sweep up those shards of glass
Still crunching outside the closet door
And the precious she still looks for now and then
"Another lost weekend dead ahead," he slurs
His idea of wit and droll delivery
And Clara aims center mass
Squeezing, not pulling the trigger.
The 13th Step:
"Make it up as you go along."

I guess those 12 steps just wasn't cutting it. . .Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, and you become "the divine intervention". . .Excellent, Sir Fly;).

A naked woman with a shotgun. Someone pissed her off. Visceral wrote Crow. I enjoyed the noir presence of thought.

This was great. I loved the significance of aiming center mass and squeezing the trigger. I have heard many people say that they would do anything for their sobriety. This is a great expression of that. Nice write.
