lifted
weights
the
vertigo tried to gain ground
as
i strained
i
just ignored it
soon
enough i’ll have a different
form
of the spins
my
cat is indifferent
as
i discover i have no alcohol
in
my place
put
on my shoes
knot
the lace
and
head on out
into
the smoggy air
of
another early evening
dionysus
allowed the harvest
and
wine is in every window
he
was the last god accepted
on
mount olympus
now
the olympians
are
found with covers
claiming
mythology
but
dionysus devotees
cover
the earth
i
come home with
a
bottle of jack daniels
a
twelve pack of millerlite
and
a packet of american spirits
my
patriotism abounds
i
put a frozen burrito in the microwave
fill
my flask with some jack
and
open a beer
step
out on my balcony
and
light a smoke
there
are no gods to invoke
but
i was always someone
who
thought that something
was
either true or not true
till
learning exposed me
to
the various opinions
and
interpretations
yet
i attempted to find
which
was true
but
experience did not prove
any
truth as true
one
hundred percent of the time
now
i no longer listen
when
someone speaks
and
believe me
everyone’s
still talking
or
should i say squawking?
i
desire
i
wonder
i
wish
i
remember
i
drink
and
i wish i was
fucking
wrong
laptop,
youtube
playing
a song
i
can hear it through
the
screen door
as
i finish my beer
and
consider
getting
my burrito
out
of the microwave
light
a cigarette
look
up at the stars
and
wave
at
nothing
