Starlight

The brilliant sun once shone
So brilliantly, glaring bright
But lungs have filled with ash
Burnt out fire that won’t light
A million sentiments ago
The smoke filled up our home
Now it’s wet and died out
We rely on the stars to glow

Today was meant to be fine

Resisting hospitalization
Is the greatest tribulation
In this grey world of mine
It’s a race against time
To get my life back in line
But I’m dragging behind

This doesn’t even make sense

Jesus fuck
I’ve been bowled
Down and out
By a monster truck
Of epicly proportioned
Emotional distortions

No longer resigned
To getting high all the time
Slowly wasting away
Trying to keep this ship
Safely harboured in bays

It’s just day after sick day
Of mind-rotting decay
Soul-crushing delays
As the infinite system
Won’t provide me no wisdom

Time after time

Aberrantly
Anxiously
Avoiding
     due course.
I’ve stayed up all night
But fuck it,
         no remorse.
For already this week
Tuesday and Wednesday
Shall no more be.

For I slept them away
Amongst deep slumber I lay
Again this pattern recurs
Though it should be unheard
Yet this happens
             time
                 after
                       time
In this eternity of mine.

I’m back

I want to break out in open insurrection
Tear down the walls of this villainous system
Burn every wretched page of the constitution
And wreck all ideals of modern civilization

No lie

procrastinating away
all the time in my life
so goddamn adept at it
I’ll probably
procrastinate
dying

Drunks are kinda annoying

local drunks
annoy me
they act like
fucking dicks

watching rugby
drinking beer
til they get off
their tits

fat-bellied
chauvinistic pigs
who shout and scream
and spit

i’d like to find
a quiet place
with like-minds
far from this

it may well be
a smoking bar
or even
just my house

all I know is
that I would go
to the ends
of the earth
to avoid these
fucking jerks

On Household Electrical Outlets

life would be easy
if power points were at
a more functional height

I hate crawling
around on the ground just to
plug in a damn light

I drink like fifty coffees a day

Making coffee from
recently half-drank coffee
= ultimate life hack

The Simpsons Life

Chronicling my life
in this series of
poems and rhymes
kind of feels like living
in that episode of the Simpsons
where they sing
all the time
