Fentanyl
The Doctor gets you good and hooked
Like a fish that has swallowed the lure
And yet remains hungry
So that you know you need it
And then they take it away from you
And tell you that it’s going to be a bit uncomfortable
As though this counts as merely uncomfortable
When you are going through hell
And yet it’s really and truly
All because the drug dealers on the street
Are lacing their contraband with it
And killing the junkies who take it
So now you get to go through this
Oh withdrawal I hate you almost as much
As I...
Like a fish that has swallowed the lure
And yet remains hungry
So that you know you need it
And then they take it away from you
And tell you that it’s going to be a bit uncomfortable
As though this counts as merely uncomfortable
When you are going through hell
And yet it’s really and truly
All because the drug dealers on the street
Are lacing their contraband with it
And killing the junkies who take it
So now you get to go through this
Oh withdrawal I hate you almost as much
As I...

Fast and Furious
So, my countrymen have decided
to embrace...and celebrate...
organized stupidity.
So it is written.
So let it be done.
And may they learn the hard way
how to bring order
to their own thoughts
and actions.
Though unnecessary...
as forethought would have done the job.
So stub your toes, America!
Fuck around and find out.
Go ahead. Reach out.
Get a good grip on that
spinning table saw blade!
...
to embrace...and celebrate...
organized stupidity.
So it is written.
So let it be done.
And may they learn the hard way
how to bring order
to their own thoughts
and actions.
Though unnecessary...
as forethought would have done the job.
So stub your toes, America!
Fuck around and find out.
Go ahead. Reach out.
Get a good grip on that
spinning table saw blade!

Cleaning Out Some Cobwebs
Fervent belief of my kindness
holding steadfast in graciousness
Respectful and honest humility
an impassioned sense of empathy
Benevolence for all those that weep
unabashed compassion for all who seek
---
Me alone with rose tinted glasses
but only an actress to fool the masses
---
Utterly blind to my defects
delusional disease, unseen effects
Sickly disposition, made me a liar
endless intoxication, my selfish desire
Fabricated stories, told straight to face
deny always,...
holding steadfast in graciousness
Respectful and honest humility
an impassioned sense of empathy
Benevolence for all those that weep
unabashed compassion for all who seek
---
Me alone with rose tinted glasses
but only an actress to fool the masses
---
Utterly blind to my defects
delusional disease, unseen effects
Sickly disposition, made me a liar
endless intoxication, my selfish desire
Fabricated stories, told straight to face

In the case of Me versus Addiction
I'd love to know
what scared me so much
about myself
to have ended up
parked in a lay-by
chasing my life away
God knows I was on top
of the world
thought I had it beat
some poems back
but in the end
my mind wasn't with it
took weeks
for it to catch up
and I'd love to tell you
'bout how much hell turkey...
what scared me so much

parked in a lay-by

for it to catch up
and I'd love to tell you

Self Conscious Drug Use
The drugs just get me by.
And they're so mundane.
Comforting me softly in.
I'm ok with right now.
It's never strong enough.
To knock me out.
To fill this boredom with alright.
Everything for a moment of levity.
I want my mind to break
I don't wanna think.
I want to be subsumed in some feeling I don't.
Have.
For just a moment.
One second.
Of comfort.
Every drug is a footnote of what I've done.
Catalogued among all these bad trips.
I would have an excuse.
But, it's all so...
And they're so mundane.
Comforting me softly in.
I'm ok with right now.
It's never strong enough.
To knock me out.
To fill this boredom with alright.
Everything for a moment of levity.
I want my mind to break
I don't wanna think.
I want to be subsumed in some feeling I don't.
Have.
For just a moment.
One second.
Of comfort.
Every drug is a footnote of what I've done.
Catalogued among all these bad trips.
I would have an excuse.
But, it's all so...
