Twelve Step Survivor

His shirt is too small. Not too small in the sense that he is a dumbass who Should have bought the right size. No shirt seems to fit the pit stains Swallowing his arms with the perfume Of first date nerves and the awkwardness Of the soggy must of locker-room-penises. His beard is patchy. Like a boy sprawled along the floor of the barber shop Collecting bits of people to glue to his face. It resembles the pubic patch of grown men Running their hands over rough denim Until their crotch all over his face. He has Jesus tattooed on his arm. As if he is some new-age-badass Christian Who is thuggin’ for the Lord. But Jesus was probably far from his mind, Probably all the way over in Jerusalem Shouting like a refrigerator buzz, While his macho representative Swallowed his first cock. As far back as he could go. As deep as he could go. He wears glasses and button up shirts. So he probably looks out of place in the circle Of drug addicts and alcoholics where It only takes twelve steps to stomp on your soul Like a child kicking up rainwater from puddle to puddle. They have a dance that has only twelve steps To sway all over the grave of your homosexuality.
