Angry Words From An Angry Man
I didn't intend to wind up here tonight, typing a sick excuse for a poem into my phone from a dive.
But that crazy South African really put the hook in me, apealing to my vanity and persona, as if an alcoholic ex-soldier could own such.
In the background of my thoughts go pieces of other poems, pieces of memories, tired revelations cried out into the darkness.
So sick of people asking me why I'm sad, and them forgetting what my answer is five minutes later, when that new girl or new guy walks by.
I have more to say, but I know that no matter what I spit onto page will make no difference in the long run.
So bartender, I need another shot.
