smashed

 smashed


now we’ve forgotten 

why we were so angry

and it doesn’t make us angry 

but sad you might say

it hits you hard in the face

all the rage they use to be

these metal studs

worn by us studs

the new boys on the block


another pint?

better not 

it’s getting late 

in the day 


those were 

dearth here isn’t thy string

 dearth here isn’t thy string


death circles

 you

look over your shoulder

no the other one

or if you turn 

it is behind you

and in front of you

inside you it has a warm smile

that causes a shiver

pauses a thought

what if

just one more 

       what if

        surely

if i sit here a moment

death will pass me by

just a short snooze

… oooooooze
