tongues thick with the music of alarm
--robert adamson

of course the world is broken
what the fuck will you do about it
live as best as you can?
break me a fucking give
your mind & abilities are
nothing
your portion of time
is smaller than you think
remember this
everything will die
especially you
just don’t be an asshole

* * *

you are an optimist by nature & a pessimist by training
but what you can’t understand is how that old man
who stares at you in the mirror thinks he’s still
all that punk rock attitude w/ goofball swagger

fuck up shit real good
