From Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective, available on Amazon
Lidocaine and cold passion
Misshapen nights unfastened
A misprint in my falsehood
Driving derision in a thunderstorm
Stormborn, borne to the edge
I scorn the precepts that flood
The nights on television
With false precision, more indecision
The race is tightening, the racism frightening
When will we be of all one kind, one mind?
Whatever, nevermind to quote a sad sod
Another in passing is saying hello 2 heaven
The words live on and they say fight for
Your rights
I don’t know what right I have to say
But I tend to write these things anyway
Reproachful I pretend to be
But I so tire of the reprehensible dichotomies
We are not the lazy, stupid fools
You desire to see
I am out to sea with the Party
I wish there was another choice of tea
This one has gone cool and the aroma
Is quite drab
I’m fishing for the big one
My mood is quite glum
I hope to find
Others like me, the ones
Left behind and still alive
And fed up with the 9 to 5
And taxes and healthcare reform
I need to be fucking reborn
My kids’ heads are full of drivel and swine
Zero Trans Fats and sugar substitutes still seem
To widen my behind
Where o where is the truth?
Is it hidden under my pillow like a fallen tooth?
I beseech anyone who is reading this silly farce of prose
Am I talking out of my ass
Or did I hit it right on the nose?
Dimethocaine and rational thoughts
Mix as well as oil and water
There are some things cannot be bought
I struggle with what to tell my daughter
Poverty for the meek
Lambs for the slaughter
A kiss on the cheek
But sometimes I pray
That we all go underwater
But hey, I don’t know
Isn’t there always
Hope for tomorrow?
If not, I’ve still got
Dimethocaine and whiskey
And the love of someone smarter
