No papers on myself

 

A rock to the head

The flash of white

 

A percentage of epiphany

Something you know

always knew

 

A corner bitten off

The dawning of the first

Real

Morning of your life

 

So what are you

On the train

Walking to the job

All smiles and fakery

No hate or love

Just

Just…

 

You know

You always did

To live inbetween

Happy and nervous but still

Home

Neither here nor there

But now

 

Locked into this role

A post holding up

The weakest links

The man above

The ones below

Really who gives enough

Of a fuck

 

So here we are but

For how long

How long before we can bring it all

Crashing down

 

We are well versed in that

Bring it to me and I can kill it

Not a night’s sleep lost

 

So what are you

Now

Today

Tomorrow

When you’re awaken at 60

 

And how do you make it so

All those around you

Those for whom you truly care

Will even remember

What you were

After you’re finally

Gone?

Love is no drug


Drugs are truthful

Making you spit teeth and cry freedom

Drugs open flowers and crush hearts

Under the weight of dying stars

 

Drugs are feared by man

And woman

Yet are under our control

As we are disabused

 

A drug is the bark on a tree

The hair on a street dog’s back

It is ocean water and lightning strike

 

Love

Is no drug.
