Singin' Dem Prednisone Blues

goddamn goddamn

tick fucking tock

long breath drawn between pursed lips puckered lips

slow deliberate controlled

one two three
one two three
one two three

one two

one

tick fucking tock

it's two fucking thirty in the morning

i'm wackenroid awake and I can see the cracks in my face showing through the silhouette sliding across the wall not unlike the rat eluding

riki tiki tavi

i can count the cracks

but get caught on three get stuck on three

one two three
one two three
one two three

one two

one

tick fucking tock

i know it's a drug driven manic state of mind that is keeping me out here on my tippy toes on the curb six inches above the road might as well be six feet sixty feet i might even have sixty feet and three hundred toes

goddamn my skin it do crawl

fire ants crawling all over biting my balls nipping my neck ripping my throat

creepy crawly wiggle waggle aluminum foil on the molars oh momma open up a window i can’t breathe don’t you know momma told me not to come

a drug driven manic state of mind that is my own personal combo meal nails screeching down the blackboard with a healthy helping of hellacious heat on

creativity real or manufactured

it doesn't matter as it

this creativity

this faux feeling of invulnerability this exuberance this need to pick up the brush to slide the pen between my fingers to grab scissors and white pasty glue and colored construction paper and poster board and old magazines and photos of worlds past and even of worlds to come

to become the edward fucking van gogh scissorhands of this new century

having just cut off my own fucking ear

and yet i’m still a simple schmuck that just can't seem to burrow up through this depression this heavy blanket of loneliness this desperation this edge of the ledge this plastic bag over the head

one breath at a time one at a time

there are precious few remaining

and still unable to get to the other side still not enough time never enough time a bog so mucky and thick and sucky and slick and my shoes get stuck with a schlurp schlurp and a burp such a trudge to budge only inches at a time

a dog paddle against a chilly current and i just never seem to get there

all the while wondering

where she is

that doubt

that questioning

it isn't here

why am i denied her breath her breathing her rhythm

fuck my body
then fuck my heart
with a simple morning smooch
a ta ta la de da and
a promise to see me later in the week

perhaps perhaps

later in my life

perhaps perhaps

oh god such busy lives such here there everywhere such hokey fucking pokey put your left foot in take your left foot out put your left foot in and you shake that bitch all about

god is looking down from his perch up on high his oh so fucking superior perch his crag his cranny up above us all he is watching me but i don’t care i don’t fucking care

goddamn these nostrils they flare the love it burns like gonna-fucking-rea

but still this love it burns for you

i can count the bricks in the wall count the cracks in the ceiling count the cracks in my face count the specks of dust dancing in the moonlight bursting through the open window count the fleeting moments

donnez-moi une autre demitasse due petite cafĂ© s’il vous plait

yeah

shoo fly
shoo fucking fly

shoo these fucking plans these visions of the future where is the now where is the here such plans such silly little plans are so tomorrow

shoo fucking fly

such plans assume there’s a way to the other side that there is more than a flimsy rope bridge over this chasm between love and belief between loneliness and captivity

one side holds such firm belief that the bridge will weather the storm weather the years we’ll traipse back and forth it’s sturdy it’s strong it don’t swing in the wind

one side tsk tsk looking at the frayed hemp rope that is my isolation that is my desperation that

yes

may indeed be fueled by these maddening additives they put in coffee these days may indeed be fueled by the prescription drugs anti-depressant anti-histamine anti-diluvia anti-christ

antidisestablishmentarianism

let me sing these prednisone blues

such a nasty drug these thoughts this faux adrenalin that deny me the escape of sleep that soma path to a temporary purge of you the purge of questions the riddance of why

that right now

it just bounces bing bang bong ricochet rabbit about my brain like some super ball spiked with psilocybin kerosene red pepper and cunt juice

a threatening match stick poised ready on the black strip running the length of my emotion

goddamn goddamn

tick fucking tock

long breath drawn between pursed lips puckered lips slow deliberate controlled

one two three
one two three
one two three

one two

one

tick fucking tock

it's two fucking thirty in the morning

god is watching and i don’t care she craved my craziness she savored my insanity infatuated with my impatience

the wind it tears up the hill through the alley and up the walls and screams for me to open wider the window and scream back to scream back at the very god that is watching me scream back that he has trapped me in this lonely room

god is watching and i don’t fucking care and all that
