walking west with well worn wormwood


do you know the blue moon under the bright stars?

are theoretical physicists heretical?

do you live in los angeles without a car?

do you go everywhere but never go far?

 

do you get drunk then remember you have a blog?

do that on thing when you log?

and see you have several hits

but haven’t posted for days?

 

realize you have nothing new to say?

walk past bars, people outside smoking

recent comments on how thin you’re getting

make you wonder if you have cancer? again

 

never stop looking for something to believe in

because you just can’t believe in yourself?

swear off drinking

but don’t even bother to justify your next drink?

 

what did you think?

i could be something i can accept

but still can’t be anything but me

 

i gnaw on the bars to try and get free

but is there anything new to perceive

that i haven’t already tried to believe

and yet the common denominator is me

 

i can barely wipe the sleep from my eyes

before the only thing i really want to try

is a different angle in which to tip my beer

unanswered prayers i wonder if anyone hears

 

my weight lifting and my blog

i’m like a frog

who whips out his tongue

hoping for success

 

but all i’m eating are flies

that just came from feasting on shit

 

*** (shit i’m so drunk – again)
