Floating The ceiling is my bed A dusty breath of reality hits the floor Six a.m. alarm and a ***** nurse vanishes A dog in the street Cold rain Awful ******* people in their awful ******* cars The smell of fast food and lying cheating shadows The world is grey and cold then warm and comforting Just confusion The TV lulls and the noises fade into everything else that isn’t remembered Just some more distraction some more drug Just legal Some more love Just fake Hamburgers and beer Water and spaghetti Passing clouds and birds I envy birds their freedom they are limitless But they are stupid Car crashes **** ****** abortion ****** Apple juice and cigarettes Terrorists Preachers Cows, ducks No one and nothing Going no where when they die There will be a lot of disappointed people Just standing there saying what the **** man A nice ***, wet ***** and a pair of **** Some jealousy and a ***** of a wife A kid that you love but he leaves too eventually That apartment in the city you used to have That one you wanted to leave but long for now A blow-job and a shot of whisky An eighty-dollar tab and an upside down car The radio plays nothing you recognize The kids all dress different and talk like ******* lunatics Foaming at the mouth and cussing life God is gone he said he wasn’t coming back anytime soon Not for you at least Maybe when you have kids and don’t wish you were that bird Maybe just long enough for you to say What the **** man
