Are you patiently persistent, or persistently patient?
You are encouraged to be both when under the pavement.
Yet, in the world of the living, everyone's rushing.
When you blow jobs from the government, blushing.
When you smoke cars at the dealer, pushing.
Ideas laced over one another like a hero in addiction.
Pleasure locked in fervent battle like out her space friction.

I need a place to die where love is infinite.
Hostess: "Another cup of gin?"
Me: "That's it, I quit!"
Hostess: "You don't even work here, Jim?"
Me: It's weird, I know, but this moment isn't working for me,
I've got to split..."

We need to live in a place where you can't get addicted off of spit!
I don't want to buy pleasure, don't you ever make it an option,
do you like broken souls, so broken that the empty's rotten?
I've lost my nerve with this, so I can't feel a thing,
Reality: "Sir, we've been calling you for years!"
Me: "Oh, couldn't hear the ring... from where I dropped it!"

I'm divorced from this insanity, reality? Travesty?
I show up at bars, saying, "Let me out!" Bars of steel!
It's a hard sell to be sober. I'm sober, man. "For real?"
Everyone wants the pleasure: a jolly good time!
When someone's sober, well, it's almost a crime... (it might be)
Beer? No. Poker? No. Swear word? No. *******? Ummm...
:)
Maybe...
>:-)
No.
:'-(

What a land. What a hopeless, marching masquerade of: huh?
Dear diary,
Life is strange.
The end.

LOL
If you need an explanation, every so often, I write a bizarre poem. I suppose it's like getting the bats out of the closet, feeding them rats sneakily stuffed with garlic, and then hiding their bodies in a museum, whereupon you immediately regret your decisions...

Enjoy! (I'm sorry if this was too weird for you, LOL! Wrote this last week after election day.)

DEW

Writer's note: wow, a breath of fresh air reading this at the end of the year. What a journey this year has been! I was ashamed of this poem, thought it was too risque, but I now have no idea why I was so scared... especially after that election, LOL! I'm going to post all my weird, comical poems now, all at once!  :o)
