Ellipses
December 23, 2005 11:59 PM
Living the wrinkled drool,
the sequestered antique
silence,
the urine on the floor.
These are the days
when war seems like a good idea,
when life expectancy is a
BITCH,
and a rock solid
drug addiction
seems like the least that they could do.
Canned shell of a shell,
of a creaking rusted nut,
my veins are more than purple,
my brain arthritic,
sucking dinner from a
STRAW,
broken afternoon,
air vents mumbling
humming,
one constant minor tone.
We fought, we aged,
we are watching Wheel of Fortune
from a respirator.
I want my choice,
my real and actual freedom,
my ripe-sharp cathartic
ENDING,
my gut on the edge of
some final glory,
It is my RIGHT!
Oh wait, stop,
what was that on channel 13
