30,000 pills.
Dirty, detrimental thrills…
On the brink I stood, arms outstretched
for Hell’s mollycoddle;
A wretch, hoodwinked to think
Heaven’s in an amber bottle…
Its cackles like rattlesnake maracas…
What a cost… What a cost…
My ischemic chakras in shackles
tossed in the Lake.
*
Ridiculously bored…
Redundantly diabolical…
Charismaricanatic
(Charismatic American Lunatic) as they come;
“Carpe Noctis” like a swastika
Chiseled across my skull, I went seekin’ shelter
Helter Skelter
Like a shit flushed down,
down,
down the
all-American toilet bowl
t’Downtown,
its sceptic tank overflowing at the brim
w/ its carcinogen crustaceans skulking
to & fro.
The evening’s cast includes:
Ghettofabulous, bass buzzin’ Cadillacs –
bibulous busstop hobos and their maggot
grins – crocodilian skinned junkies –
panhandlin’ Capuchin monkeys in assless
chaps – ye ol’ eviscerated mom ‘n’ pop
stops & barber shops iron bar garbed –
icy harlots doomed to crack, flashin’ their
cootchs & blowin’ their smooches t’anyone
‘cept a cop – dreadlocked buskers w/out
even a nickel to huzzah over – washed up
rappers w/ barnacles on their egos, still
hustlin’ that same mixtape from ’99 –
cartel Mazatec shamans concealing cheap
enlightenment in their coat pockets…
Classic cinema of shit ‘n’ piss slums.
