honey, the Kid ain’t alright
Dopesick, drug addled
Brain zaps, sinking in logical traps-
Blinded by the perceived righteousness of my own path—
a Will long since fettered unwillingly
espousing the
same
self-deceiving
hypocrisy I detest
mini seizures, the slippery slope’s
steeper,
fuck, my knees hurt.
Drawing closer to a yawning primeval Void that
ever patiently beckons my return.
The very essence of It is atomized in my
arteries, asphyxiating erythrocytes in Epicurean Entanglements
fuck the Zeitgeist, too.
I’m not okay, and It’s not—
okay.

Author's Note
I hate that I’ve used the term “yawning” to describe a void in two works of mine. I’ve been away from the whetstone of writing for quite a spell, but somehow I feel as though there may be less fat in this piece than some of my earlier work— I’ll leave it to the readers to determine as per usual

I haven’t posted in a good long while, and the fact that you took time to comment on this old rustbucket of an entry that I wrote last night after coming off a nasty weeklong bender truly warms my heart Ahavati. Moreover, with regard to the textual substance of your comment, I’m starting to see what you mean when you echo similar sentiments across my published body of work. Thanks for hanging around as I develop my authorial voice; it means more than you know

I can assure you this was sufficiently chubby.
You have an interesting style.

You said there was less fat in this piece.
I just meant that it has something to chew on.
I was really tired when i commented, so it didn't click you probably meant trimmed the fat.

Hey I’ve been tired too, I’ll chalk it up to your joke going over my head— I appreciate the engagement from overseas super-chief
