NEED A CIGAR ON AN AFTERNOON WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE WALKING OUT THE DOOR TO FEEL THE BURDEN OF INTENSE, SMOLDERING SUNSHINE
Folder:
THE POETRY KEEPS GETTING DIRTIER
but sometimes
the need is greater
than any amount
of common sense excuses
you try to muster
to get out of doing it
you just gotta bite the bullet
put on shoes
and venture out
into that somber reality
you’re trying desperately
to avoid confronting.
