New Day Same Day
New day, same day;
Depression drips
Hot on tortured meat.
Bloated grime and
Still doing time,
For beating shrinks
Just for fun we think.
Of grievous thoughts,
Of solid waste
In dampened corners
And diaper paste.
Spit trash and tinsel,
On souls unmeasured
For your child's redemption,
Or thoughts uncensored.
Back to paradise.
Wrong turns incinerate
Your blood and your mood
These brains incarcerate.
Get forked up into
Some greedy god's mouth.
Limp and lame
To rise up the South.
And your prison is yours
Made out of rock
And fried dung heaps of verbs
And fool's nouns and slop.
And the Words continue
As if looking for bliss
That you can dive into,
Just another swing and a miss.
One addiction, one penny
One car and one wreck
We kiss so slightly
The nape of the neck.
Of time driven to sorrow
Time is sliced into fours:
Drinking, dancing
Pills and a whore.
Jump and swirl.
Blasae blah.
All gumption is gone
Hallelujah.
