holiday cheer

the eggnog is curdled
in the bowels of christmas delight

a recent self appraisal revealed the vile nature
of my existence
after meditating on an evening of snorting and slandering
I lie semi-conscious
stimulating my fantasy with the recurring lure-and-skewer scheme
debauching and depriving these girls of everything possible
before their better sense arrives
I lay in this state
for several hours
responsibilities are pondered and dismissed
friends are betrayed with inaction
my lover is shelved behind the bottle
I know
that I am capable of things far worse
than even my breath would suggest
and I am fine with that
life is easier to cope with
when it is ignored completely
or handed over to the chemicals to run

Shaking my head again. I thought you wanted to live a while longer, yanno, for a nice vacation near the Riviera? OK, so maybe it's all just poetry and your incredibly overactive imagination, your projected imaginary alter-ego unwinding. Have a great week, stay outta the dust bins.
