the additives of the addict’s addiction


          have you ever found the morning waiting

for someone other than you

          the moment letting you actuate

the moment that is due

          molecules trapped by gravity

and fashioned by its force

          are freer than your addict flesh

craving another course

 

          the ducks that walk and geese that squawk

in ponds and lakes and pools

          bring beauty to the crumbs of bread

that you just bring your drool

          when i say you well i mean me

the morning after liberties

          are dangled in the addict’s mind

as freedom he will never find

 

          i argued how much i am free

until i lost the only key

          that would have once unlocked this cell

the money spent was not on bail

          my third time reading Naked Lunch

heroin is not my brunch

          i swallow pills with whiskey white

higher than a fucking kite

          that’s still attached unto a string

i salivate when the bell rings

 

          i live just as i fucking want

cause i’m controlled by all my wants

          the batting coach told me to bunt

i got confused and faked a punt

          and now the gravity that laughs

at everything it holds in grasp

          is envious of what it sees

having the power over me

 

          i know i’ll die regardless still

even if all the rest i spill

          the picture cropped will never stop

the pogo stick on which i hop

          the addict’s joy is never found

with both feet firmly on the ground
