SHOWER
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
I can not sleep for the second night, so I pace back and forth. I drink warm milk and shower cold, but I still can not get this thought out of my head, which stands right before my mind. I want to holler and scream, but life is just a dream.
Where did I bury that bone years ago? Why do I continue to know my way home? Everybody was having a good time except you and me. We were talking over a cheap glass of wine about how the world would start and end; we were calling everyone friends.
Let me wash away everything but my love for this newfound world of mine, for I am no longer looking down the barrel of a gun I did not lose and have yet to win; I have swallowed their pills of sin.
