What I’ve been wonderin’ is, where’s he been?
Get Shorty
Right here. About to get a new job. Passing kidney stones. Watching two more kids graduate high school. Regretting a decision that is taking up all my free time and making me hate life.
You know, the usual.
the wrath of some god
stabbing, burning, killing me–
goddamn kidney stone
the well has gone dry-
even shit’s hard to come by
in shitty haiku
this is work not church
I don’t care about your god
nor your fairy tales
hawk circles, searches,
waits for its sweet, just reward-
another friday
was so good before,
since pandemic not so much-
the clock is ticking
once again, morons
no, X does not equal Y
same shit diff’rent day
rivers in a drought
cannot find what will not come-
so very tired
another shooting
it’s like thoughts and prayers don’t work
no one’s listening
another day down
where the hell am I headed-
a stream to nowhere
