If you're wondering why there's so many typos? I'm in the hospital, Benzo'd out and on phenobarbital. But I guess it's better than hammered drunk at home trying to give the cat a bath. He doesn't like that band The Allman Brothers which I Blair at the side of the tub and he tends to scratch me even with the Mr. bubble bath. Now I'll try to watch the Redskin buccaneer game, they'll always be the Redskins to me. But that could just be the benzos talking

waiting for my dealer on the bridge i open my second hand copy of American ****** for the first time in two years. i forgot it opens with the gates of hell. nihilism is seeping from the pages just fueling my own drug addled reality that doesn’t quite seem to mimic ‘real life.’ itake my meds twice a day but only in the mornings do i get klonopin, the best drug i’ve been on since my Ativan privileges got revoked. i used to do Xanax but that’s another poem. Bateman does a lot of ******* but i’ve only done that once, and it was just parental leftovers so i don’t know about good bathrooms to do coke in, but i know about popping pills in front of the mirrors, professors in the stalls, before class, just to keep me going. my suicidal intent has turned into hedonism and i am living for pleasure and i find comfort in knowing i will die, likely by my own hand but even then, Bateman makes one thing clear: This Is Not An Exit.

rereading American ******
slow down, deep breath, not as sure footed as your braggadocios ego would lead you to be. it pulls you in many directions but you can tug back sheepishly. the pines hold you or you hold the pines. You need not remember where you're going,or where you came from, you will sleep well tonight.

descending the pines
Dying dreams exchanged for Fairy dust and a doting Daddy, Dollars, drive-bys, euphoric highs: Glassy eyes and a hazy mind Just hellos - no goodbyes No lies of stardom and Starving on the street for a Script or a role that never ******* Followed through, none of that, No work, only play. Days wasted are over And sitting pretty is easy When there’s coke and Crime and corruption But you’re still the rose Growing in the play-pen, It’s lonely when they go The house is all to know, Porcelain doll with her Nose so white: do you ever dream of flight?

I actually found someone I prefer more than The xan I would rather remember the time I spend on him I want to feel every touch and breath he gives me He addicts me more than This xan When I’m incoherent and don’t understand the world for a few hours When I’m so weak And so useless So dumb He keeps the danger away and I’m safe in his arms and The xan never gave a **** about me It made me stop thinking But it also made me stop caring About everything and everyone But him He was stronger than The xan He never ruined me And the xan sure did I can turn away from it now But him, I can’t I used to dance with little white, yellow, and green bars in my butterfly filled stomach Until I lost my balance and That xan Did me so wrong But he Only wanted to help and I fell in love with that In love with him His I didn’t want to belong to the xan I wanted to die by the xan Except now, he made me love this life Made me realize that I can Without the xan My boyfriend tastes better Makes me feel better Takes care of me better Than Any kind of xan I Could ever find
