the bitch is back
covid has re-entered my system
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me
working my inhaler overtime just to survive
danced this set before
I didn't want to move to this tune anymore
back to the meds & the bed
catch y'all on the flipside
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me
working my inhaler overtime just to survive
danced this set before
I didn't want to move to this tune anymore
back to the meds & the bed
catch y'all on the flipside

Fragile
Fragile in feeling I am weak
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers
I go forward
Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face
leaving scars all too apparent
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers
I go forward
Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face
leaving scars all too apparent

Freaking Out
I was in my car, parked in a seedy shopping center on the outskirts of town
I was going out of my fucking head man
Not laughing or crying or anything man
I felt nothing!
Just freaking out in my head
I couldn't feel a fucking thing
Didn't know who I was or what I was, or if i was anything at all
I was totally freaking out dude
I guess I shouldn't have eaten that Whopper, with McDonald's French Fries, a Strawberry Milkshake and then went to Dunkin Donuts to buy a dozen donuts.
That shit will drive you fucking insane!
Next time I'll just...
I was going out of my fucking head man
Not laughing or crying or anything man
I felt nothing!
Just freaking out in my head
I couldn't feel a fucking thing
Didn't know who I was or what I was, or if i was anything at all
I was totally freaking out dude
I guess I shouldn't have eaten that Whopper, with McDonald's French Fries, a Strawberry Milkshake and then went to Dunkin Donuts to buy a dozen donuts.
That shit will drive you fucking insane!

Corona Blues - NYC Love Story
My wife quarantined for 33 days
The first week was bad
Then she got slowly better
Enough so that we would take walks
Mask and gloves on
The whole time she was sick we were vigilant
Never letting up on hygiene and sanitizing
My black shoes have bleached souls
We are super careful
She still got sick
6 days out of quarantine and she’s had a relapse
I’m cooking again if you can call it that
My wife is a super caregiver
She takes care of cooking and cleaning and works part time
Walks dogs too
I work a...

Dreamy and rosy
Look outside
It is cloudy
Dark
But dreamy
And rosy
This time
Unlike one hour before
My dearest pill.
It is cloudy
Dark
But dreamy
And rosy
This time
Unlike one hour before
My dearest pill.
