Cars, Like coffee pots, Break down, And more so, When you least want them to. So imprisoned, The frigid, And with no power-windows, We didn’t care about the heat, Only the smoke That now stung our eyes – Two-fold Atop already open wounds, And the cancerous, Lying in wait, most often, Indiscriminately. So enters the second urge, And it controls me, I don’t control “it;” “It” being a mood frosted Amnesia, free, Like beer’s hiss, At the crack of a can. And like beer, “It” runs out When the money does; All too quickly to be Replaced by the Haunts of – Bill collectors, war And the knife in the drawer. Something beckons when We spot a diner from within The snowbound derelict We reside. Scraped change and reckonings, We can afford a few, Drinks. Forgotten were the coats when We abandon ship, abandon you, Abandon me, And more importantly, The haunts; Our chariot, a remain, A wreck on shores unknown With bodies, perhaps, Left for the living come spring.

My addiction's grip is always around my neck. Luckily, I've found something healthier to love.
