Run it Down the Drain
A Poem
May 5, 2022
Ecstatic with agony,
Smile like a god.
Beauty and pain,
Sleep like a log.
Look, see? It's running down the drain.
Cut it, burn it,
Cry like a cloud
Again and again,
Lose like a pound.
Look, see? It's running down the drain.
Break down hard,
Float like the heavens.
Rattle those chains,
Learn the devil’s lesson.
Look, see? it's running down the drain.
Kiss it all crimson,
Sink like an anchor.
Light up the brain,
You won’t thank me later.
Run it down the fucking drain.
