Mr. Grinch

Honestly since you asked
I’m disgruntled
enjoying today alone cup near full
Quick temper galore
I’m typically Mr. Freeze solo
during holidays
it's a dagger in the ice chest
that goes ignored
Intoxicated subzero don’t do toxic stupid shit
like suicide or murder
that’s poison ivy black rose debauchery
just one more dark problem
Life is perception some perceive demons
I make tea for mine
when not decimating them,
urbane Alfred: Batman & Robin
I been embrace the shadows
depress at least 20 years, scary thought
Jack in the box not tryna be here forever
just visiting insanity Extended stay
Gotta find my ideal cabin in the woods,
I’ll come out to visit
Harley Quinn anti-sobriety weekends
from my place 5 miles away
Or find somewhere secluded to meet
hypothetically speaking
“You merely adopted the dark
I was born in it, molded by it”

crazy is not my destination it's my commute
Short fused antisocial don’t do fake,
gift wrap trapdoor boundary
swallows holiday seasons,
a day or more before
a Joker erupts in dispute
