Green Jello, Fire Hydrants, & Bloody Pumpkins

grind together
as the flakes fall
on coffee table
roll the bill
but not too tight
stand up
sit down
adjust your belt
stand up
walk around
crack a beer
peak out the blinds
"there's fucking sun out there!"
"aye"
"people too?"
"no fuck that, no people, lots of turds..."
sit down
sweaty palms
dehydration coming on
headache
back ache
neck ache
stand up
cannot piss
bladder contracts
insides twist and knot
sick again
arrange yourself at the head
"aye"
no more beer
no more bills
no more rye
to drink it all down
summer is almost gone
t-shirt sticks to back
i'm sweating all the time
i can taste it
cotton mouth/ numb mouth
wrapped up in the sugar business
look in the mirror
pounds shed
life shed
circles under eyes
deranged youth trapped behind
wheel of
dancing baboons
swerving
missing no parking meter
no hydrant
no humans
no more pills
to levitate me
no more T.V.
to educate us
ears bleed
brain is trying to evacuate
escape through my ears
into the sink
teeth fall out
hairs grown long
fingers grow limp
no more
distraction
blue skies
and green lights
but wait.
wait.
everything
everything
everything
is
compromised
