Snap, crackle, pop go my synapses in the morning light.  Or maybe that is just my cereal. I can’t tell in this fuckstorm of a hangover. My eyes burn black and the airy space behind my forehead radiates. Twisting, melancholy. Pulsing knives, throbbing toaster coils, wrap me in soft, dark wool and toss me overboard. I will float. This aching in my fingertips does not translate well. When I read the morning paper, I pray the ink will bleed knowledge through skin to inner vessels. Soak. I might remember everything.

The Trash Man Comes
Snap, crackle, pop go my synapses in the morning light.  Or maybe that is just my cereal. I can’t tell in this fuckstorm of a hangover. My eyes burn black and the airy space behind my forehead radiates. Twisting, melancholy. Pulsing knives, throbbing toaster coils, wrap me in soft, dark wool and toss me overboard. I will float. This aching in my fingertips does not translate well. When I read the morning paper, I pray the ink will bleed knowledge through skin to inner vessels. Soak. I might remember everything.
