another drink and I
wont miss her
that’s what the man
on the harmon/kardon
keeps repeating
I turn it up
and fill the glass
one more time
I look forward to the days
where Ive lost
everything but the desire
guzzling rotgut with fleas
and los paranoias
gnawing on my ear
then the real drinking will commence
no more distractions
no more women
to charm my fingers free
of whatever bottle
I was about to engage

I steal kisses
from the mouth of the fox
4 days a week
she keeps me going
with her charitable submissions
we both know
that things will never
be to our liking
but things seldom are
in this life of denial
and repression

the best you can hope for
are moments of purity
fleeting between split seconds
and the gallant ideas
we never dare to pursue

...but you know that isn't what you really want...

damn drex.

If it is true that you spend much of your time anesthetizing your feelings, you sure do pull them out...

and please understand that I mean this as a compliment, but after reading you, I quite often feel as tho I've been gut punched (yeah I KNOW what that feels like too..sigh)

Life is a bad trip sometimes.
