I used to count this curse as a blessing.
Now, it's just one of many ways that I can't live.
Cash down on the barrelhead against the future.
I know I'll never be content.
Bathroom walls cry out for names.
And me, without a pen!
Wonder for a moment, here, how many penless names have been.
These marks made barely signify a crude, untempered mind
so I write it with my eyes.
A parking meter stands unpaid on a busy, rain-paved street
waiting for some absolution.
Sin ain't so original.
Mine is just being here,
breathing air,
in and out.
I used to count this curse as a blessing.
Now, it's just one of many ways that I can't live.
Cash down on the barrelhead against the future.
I know I'll never be content.
A throat that aches to scream will find no purchase
in an echo
sent home.
Mountaintop to canyon finds you hoarse,
or may as well.
Does it matter what you're saying?
Is there anyone to tell?
I used to count this curse as a blessing.
Now, it's just one of many ways that I can't live.
Cash down on the barrelhead against the future.
I know I'll never be content.
Be of good courage, my son.
After every darker night there comes a brighter sun.
Be of good courage, my son.
Because each night is worse than the last one.
