singing for my supper


i physically felt as if i would shortly die

if i didn’t walk away

from the dark streets of decay

 

five days sober

contemplating attending AA

 

but i in no way recant

anything i wrote

i am still a fucking nihilist

 

and believe in the grand scheme of things

it doesn’t matter if i’m drunk or sober

it only matters to me

 

so here i am

detoxing

clearing my head

 

tossing around ideas for a new novel

which will be even more bleak

then anything i’ve written before

since it will no longer contain

the sacred and the profane

otherwise known as the pleasure principle

that constantly held sway

on the dark streets of decay

 

***
