We are immobilized
veins thick
with toxins
brains saturated
with synthetic sensation.
Get out of bed
pill pundits.
Who do you love?
There is bliss without
a script.
Somewhere.
Look at yourself
****** harlots.
Now look in the mirror.
Is it a surprise that the same face
didn’t appear?
Stand straight,
sloppy sippers.
Take the flask out of your glove compartment
you can’t pregame life.
Come clean,
nicotine queens.
We say we do it
because we don’t care when we die
but I care if you draw your last shallow breath
before mine.
We are the machine,
**** fiends.
We can’t be fueled
by ten sacks
and melancholic
dead dreams.
I am envious
sober superstars,
of your greatest feat,
waking in the morning
and walking
on your own
two feet.
