we drink soda like its alcohol
and pop pills like they’re candy
we eat fast food like its healthy
and pray to god like he’s good
we throw up in back-alley toilets
and **** our children in plain sight
we can’t remember bad times
and think of good ones lost
we learn from death and not dying
and examine till meaning is gone
we exist in an air of relentlessness
and read a compass lacking north
