this is the reckoning

so
the time of reckoning
is at hand

WHAT CONTRIBUTIONS
TO HUMANITY
DID YOU (fucking
junkie) OFFER
US?

well okay so
maybe i didn’t
paint a dali
or do some
scientific science
business with the
makesyourbreakfastforyou
genius calculators

but
WHAT?
but i finally found
a way to go to sleep
and i guess you could
say it was painful
but that’s only when
you think of pain
in terms of the
failure to fulfill
an enchanting potpourri
of arbitrary values
clogging the minds
of so many potentially
genuine individuals

WHAT?
YOU ARE MAKING
ME ANGRY well
i guess i should stop
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD
THIS IS THE RECKONING
zipped lips (chief)
hit it and quit it
go for the gold
rock on baby

QUIET DOWN
ANY LAST WORDS?
ahem ahem
good to be here
ladies and gentlemen
i mean this (with all the
sincerity i can scrounge up)
nummmmbero uno: i never
imbibed “too much” cannabis
never ever ever
even when your ears start ringing
and they definitely shouldn’t be
(you remember that day)

nummmmbero dos equis:
i never had a lot of luck
with chicks who were
taller than me (and
fuck that shit)

but then (in these strange, dark times)
we must remember that
this is nothing.
