Everyday Occasion
Yeah, so
I looked in the looking glass,
not much there to
write home about
except the cardiac veins,
they stand out,
and, of course, the
Caligula face pack.
In the blanket
battlefield,
crumpled sheets askew,
the dishwasher blonde
spreads like pale blood
on the pillow.
I could use a shave,
but what the hell;
she wallows in cheap paste,
resplendent diamante;
so fetch down that Capodimonte
statuette of the
Virgin Mary, Luigi,
I feel an occasional
prayer
coming on.
Yeah, so,
beat retreat, uncork
the breakfast bourbon;
in the gut swills
and gets to murdering pain;
jams a little juice
to get me on the road
again...
