Not Yet, But Let's Get Real

I don’t like pain. It hurts.

That’s why I don’t run marathons.

Hangovers an irritation.


I’m kind of fascinated;

Eager, somewhat, to see the credits roll.

Obviously, not any time soon

(or ever, but let’s get real.)


I thought at one time I’d do the same

as Aldous Huxley. Go out tripping

my tits off.

Ludicrousness wonder clarity.


But, no. I’ll cop it,

not cop out.


That said, if I’m

in paroxysms and incoherent -

turn the morphine the fuck up to full

and let me dream into distance,

into delusion, into comfort;

I do dissolve.


Squinting a fading

idea of sighing mind -

fade beyond feel -

a welcome home

from gigglers gone.
