Merry Go Round

The killer showboats
In fancy clogs
As I piss away the coffee
Cigarettes
Last night’s abuse
And plead for anything
To make me feel

In the urinal’s reflection
It seems so
Redundant
This breathing
Drinking
Stabbing the same circle

I am bored with sobriety
Tired of being twisted
Anesthetized to the
Homogenized plastication

The slick red wrappers

Where is the plague
I promised
My outside shot
The placid river
The smell of fresh kill
And pine

This is more reality
Than I ever hoped to find
