I'm an old man living day to day.
Retired, 2 dogs a cat box to clean
waiting for my final tab to pay.
I try to live forever it will seem.
I drink wine every night and run
amok in fantasies that would make
a ***** blush. My dreams are fun.
Obituaries too kind to not be fake.

I know I'm just some kind of machine
    aware of my history and moment now.
    I can guess at tomorrow and expect
    another disappointing day or death.

    We're born into the sea and crawl
    to sand onto the rocks and end as
    plaster statues frozen in Times
    Square among junkies and ******.

    Spinning on this top we call Earth
    we can't understand and time that
    is seconds and a billion lifetimes
    we feel lucky and cursed and loved.

Strung out Jane always says
she never knew what love was.
She serviced a thousand beds,
swallowed all of Johns' threads.
Fed her addiction from the cut
her **** gave renting his ****.

War's Seduction

Seduced by her perfume.
Inflamed in her bedroom.
Entrenched in no man land.
Stroked by a banker's hand.
Sell our carrion by the pound.
Financial decision very sound.
Dead son letters we all fear
break hearts and spill tears.
Gold star in windows warn
this house is now war torn.
Leave us to weep and mourn
our fallen boy now unborn.

Life

birth and death
first and last breath
time's chaos between
a pauper or a queen
all is only a whisper
a one eyed cat's purr
broke 5 year old leg
my ***** and her egg
start it one more time
is it reason or rhyme?
repentance or a crime?
wretched or sublime?

I have reached an age
without another page
pay an obscene wage
shouting more rage
on my silent stage
death's golden cage.

Put your heart in the auction.
Bids for her pounds of meat,
one holds back, his royal caution
until he counts your heartbeat,
feels your honest ****** heat.
Swears to his god to never cheat.
You found true love now complete.
