Bearing the weight of words; worlds
Well Mr.
Chinaski,
the wine's got me by the will,
(I'm sure you'd say my woman’s got me by the
balls)–
and though I respect your work I
can't quite say I'd agree–
wheat and
chaff.
Long after first light I
rise, my
head still
sagging to one
side—
waterlogged with the
Midnight Dew.
Hangover hounding,
baying at the
back door of my cranium.
McCarthy mixes with the
brain fog
and
both plume upward to some unseen
place in
kind,
I shuffle to my
desk
and the
words begin to seep from the
tip of a gel pen to an
unassuming
page wallowing in its
potential
yet
unrealized—
a fine layer of sheen for
the
parking-lot Puddle of
pedestrian mucus,
ratshit and
old motor oil.
