Teenagehood

Knick-knacks, bottle caps, pop tabs, and acid The reflux of my mind of many memories redacted Connections don't elucidate the fuzzy things that happen Only emphasize the vacuity of brains fried and flattened I wouldn't deign to age another decade with this habit But self-control's a feeble virtue in youthful years uncounted Demote me to a lesser life where everything is vapid My rancor for the world only grows as time elapses I press on indulgently into the sugared gasses The romance of it influence next generations addicts For boys discover empathy and girls affirm their status They haughtily plod to the tracks as the sully train passes
